If there is no one offering to do the copy for free, you can buy
a set of 3 CDRs (potato) from www.everythinglinux.com for $25
(NB: that is binary only, source is extra $25).

As far as I know, debian potato is the newest release that is
available in ISO9660 form, to get woody you have to download.
Hopefully debian will make another ISO9660 release soon.

Also, the 2.4.x kernels don't work on multi-CPU sparc as far as
I have been able to measure (or they do work but crash under high
loads). Single CPU should be OK. I've been bugging Anton for a fix,
he seems to like PPC chips these days... linux sparc kernel
development is rather stagnant at the moment.
