I've written a quick and dirty Athena 10 installer script for the
purpose of eating our own dogfood during development.  (It's a
cut-down and adapted version of the Debathena installer script which
asks fewer questions.)  To use it:

  * Install Ubuntu Gutsy.

  * Depending on how you installed Ubuntu, you may have a "deb cdrom:"
    line in /etc/apt/sources.list which you may want to comment out,
    so that you don't get asked to insert the CD when installing
    Ubuntu packages.

  * Get a root shell (Applications->Accessories->Terminal, sudo -i).

  * wget ftp://amusing.mit.edu/afs/dev.mit.edu/system/athena10/install-athena10.sh

  * sh install-athena10.sh

Not for use on machines you can't easily reinstall.
