I was thinking more of contributing patches back to Debian, maybe even using alioth for your hosting, etc. FYI, the image works fine (Thanks!), but it is a bit too customized for my taste[1]. Also, your GPG key is not singed by anyone (a trust path to Debian would be great). I'm talking mostly about small stuff like that. [1] This is not a bad thing in itself, considering the audience for it, but I'd still like a pristine Raspbian installation, even I have to do it by hand. Admittedly, I did not look in the forum for instructions yet, since I don't really like forums :( Kind regards, Andrei -- http://nuvreauspam.ro/posts/2010/neticheta-pe-mail/
