Ah... Okay, if the volume is that low, then it might actually be worth
keeping an eye on it, thanks for letting me know, I'm so used to most of the
debian lists having message volumes like debian-user :-)

Which sounds to me like just the right way to handle it... I'm going to
spend some time over the next week or so figuring out how to get a the
debian-installer stuff "working" for what I need done here... expect a
flurry of reports on it... hmm... watching another thread in the debian-boot
list begs the question - which package do I list the reports under? Is
there a debian-installer "package" in the bug-system already? If so, I'll
find it when I need to, but if there is another package I should list the
reports under, I'll be happy to add them there.
Oh - for those people interested in the woody netboot stuff I'm working on,
it's still going to happen because to me it looks like debian-installer has
a long way to go yet, so making a working netboot stuff for the current
version is a high priority for me, that way it's available if
debian-installer isn't ready for the testing-stable switchover (hopefully it
will be, but I don't like to rush development!).

Cassandra
