Nice to hear. As daily images are not yet building again and there have
never been any dailys for hppa and alpha (AFAIK), the best would be to
check out the current status of the d-i CVS as and to testbuild it
yourself (take a look at the build directory). There is also an
experimental new build system living in the mrvn branch of CVS.
When you have questions (you will probably have some!) ask them here or
on IRC in #debian-boot.
You will probably have to build some udeb's from cvs as long as the
autobuilders don't work. Put them in build/localudebs and they will be
included in your build instead of the udebs in the archive.
