I've tried a few times to get working with the debian-live folks, but my problem at the moment is lack of stability - we've not had any release candidate live CDs (for example), and I think the change over from make-live to live-helper has come too late before the release. I'd *love* to get some live CDs released with etch, but it's too late now to hold the release up for them. Maybe once the release is done, we can get some stable, tested images copied onto cdimage. I think that's probably the best way to go for now. After etch, I'd like to get regular builds done and hosted alongside the regular CDs too. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. steve@einval.com "I can't ever sleep on planes ... call it irrational if you like, but I'm afraid I'll miss my stop" -- Vivek Dasmohapatra
