Hi, 

I just reworked the win32-loader packaging and the package will hopefully 
ship a win32-loader-standalone.exe, suitable for download from a website to 
get a direct install of Debian from and within Windows (what http://goodbye-
microsoft.com did provide).

It'd be great if this .exe could be shipped from a debian.[org,net] 
subdomain. Any idea on who should be contacted to "get this done" ?

IMHO publicising this along the CDs as an alternate way to install Debian 
(aka on http://www.debian.org/distrib/ ) could be interesting.

Cheers,

OdyX
