I had already packaged and uploaded popclient before noticing this.
I'm not sure it needs to be in netstd; if we take it out, I can
trivially upload another version that

IMHO, teTeX is a very good package. I think it should be used as the
base for Debian TeX, if that's possible at all.

I tried to bootstrap from the installation disks (3.5") but it does not
recognize my SONY CD76S (SCSI) CDROM.
I already used the same configuration for a Slackware distribution and
it perfectly worked (as it does under dos).
The problem seems to be connected with my SCSI card, the NCR53c810.

Another option would be for the fvwm2 package's installation scripts
