That's it.

Sounds reasonable, we can get the texts out of a package, for example, one
thing that would be good is if we didn't need root for getting those texts,
avoid things like loop mounting and so.

Seems like isolinux has put some bugfixes to avoid problems with broken
bioses and they work, at least my scsi bios can boot from sarge's cds but
not from woody's first cd.
We can build two netinst sets for now if you want, but I'd rather build test
images with the last version of isolinux in debug mode before making a
decision on all this, anybody objects on building this kind of images and
asking the people that wrote the bugs to test them so that we can get
feedback on this?
