I can tell you what I did:
1. Download the following into the AMIGA
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/slink/main/disks-m68k/current/amiga/amigai
nstall.lha
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/slink/main/disks-m68k/current/common/base2
_1.tgz

Download a recent kernel binary from
http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/Linux/LOCAL/680x0/v2.0/modules-2.0.0.bin.tar.
gz

Extract the vmlinux from the above package to the debian dir created by
amigainstall.lha and edit the Startinstall in the same dir and change the
command to something like:
> amiboot-5.6 -d -k vmlinuz -r rootamiga.bin root=/dev/ram video=pal

Follow the instructions in the Debian2.1/m68k Installation Guide, you can
find it in:
http://www.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de/~amigo/debian_inst.html

Once installed you can download .deb packages from the debian dist site (2)
and upload them to the amiga (to access msdos sized disks in the amiga under
linux you have to add the drive yourself with �mknod /dev/pc0 b 2 4� I
recommend having a serial link from the internet connected machine and the
amiga, then download minicom.deb, transfer it by diskette and start
uploading via minicom later.

Download and install the gcc and binutils .deb packages, so you can download
a kernel source and compile it (it takes ours on my A4000/040)

You can then download and install sendmail, the .deb will alert you for any
packages needed (by dependence) by sendmail - download and install them
first.
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/slink/main/binary-m68k/mail/sendmail_8.9.3
-3slink1.deb

    Hope this helped... see why I want to put up a FAQ?
    Good Luck and Merry Cristmas
