The first CD I tried (from http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/jigdo-area/ october 31), had only net.gz, which is only a kernel, no initrd. Now I see that the kernels are in ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/installer-i386/current/images/ A) If I make an iso with jigdo using the latest templates (november 6 is current now) from http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/jigdo-area/ will that iso contain these kernels? B) Will I have to manually join the contents of net_drivers-image.img and netboot-initrd.gz (As described for Woody here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-testing/2003/debian-testing-200304/msg00069.html) or how should net_drivers-image.img be used? -- Hans Ekbrand (http://sociologi.cjb.net) <hans@sociologi.cjb.net>
