The cvs version of anna now supports calling the retriever with a 'config' argument, and tries to load a list of udebs to automatically install from /var/cache/anna/autoinst. Now we need: - decide a /cdrom/.disk/ file. anna_autoinst? - have cdrom-retriever copy or symlink this file (piece of cake) - add stuff to debian-cd for creating reasonable files for the netinst CDs. - file bugs on ftp.d.o to have the priority of the udebs changed to optional so they aren't pulled in all the time. Sounds reasonable?
