ditto. some points i'd make
o there are images for both unstable and testing, but only for i386
that i know about. there's someone out there doing images for
all the architectures, but i don't have the disk space.
i know we carry iso images for unstable and testing, generated
by Atilla Nagy from fsn.hu
o i assume a number of those links are going to point at verious
different mirror lists - are they going to be maintained at
cdimage, or use existing ones ?
. option 1 (jigdo) - assuming you get the jigdo templates, i assume this
just points at the normal debian mirror list ?
. option 2 (http/ftp) - a separate list maintained by cdimage of http/ftp
sites ? also, there is no mention of rsync here. a number of "power"
users would list that listed.
. option 3 (buy) - a separate list maintained by cdimage ? or is there
an existing list of cd retailers being maintained somewhere, which
breaks down by country ? we (planetmirror.com) don't currently
sell CDroms, but we're looking at doing that by user request as well
as to help provide some $$ to keep the resources needed for the
debian* mirrors here.
. you probably want to be a bit less harsh on the PIK description - perhaps
"quite complex" rather than "user unfriendly" ;-)
it looks really good and simple richard - worlds away from the previous complexity
which, though well intentioned, had the effect of annoying or confusing (or both)
a lot of people.
