I got a distro of M68k debian/woody a while back - AFAIK it only takes the first CD to get to the command prompt (takes HOURS to install), the other 5 CDs are all modules.

If you're on PPC then there is an Redhat/APUS distro which installs much faster and easier, and runs straight from your PPC.  I installed it from AmigaFormat disk 40 with a redhat installer & enough modules to get X-windows running all on one CD.

Doesn't help if you can't get to WB though... :-(
