True. The BASE floppy disk, unlike the addon disks, is an EXT2 filesystem,
mountable.
So, it is possible to put in it a web.tgz with all required web material.
You can put web.tgz in tree/startup.
After that, you can put :

                mount /dev/fd0H1722 /startup 2>/dev/null
                cd /path_to_web_root
                gzip -d /startup/web.tgz | tar -zxf-

in setup/local.
