In the recent case where I needed to fetch the working base-config because
the archive held a buggy one, I encountered a rather pathetic difficulty:
there is no easy-to-use way to download a file from the base system.

Gotcha. I don't understand why, however. I lack write access to all
kinds of things, but I still send in patches. It sounds like you care
about powerpc support, so I find it

Section 1.3 of the installation manual asks "What is Hurd?"
The usage of "Hurd" is almost always with a definite article; the
question should be "What is the Hurd?"
(and throughout that section as well, "Hurd" should be replaced with

I received a business-card-sized CD-ROM of slink boot floppies from
linuxcare, perhaps you've seen it. It was a pretty nifty item.
I would relish covenient clear instructions on how to make such a
