The build system produces initrds for cdroms, not entire cdroms (except in the mrvn branch). You'll need to use debian-cd to build full CDs. A good aproach would be to: a. Work to get the debian-installer package cleanly building for all relevant image types. b. Get a daily autobuild set up (see build/daily-build). c. Point manty at that so he can get sparc cdroms building. d. Work with me to get sparc turned on in its architecture list, so sparc images can enter the archive. e. Test test test.. -- see shy jo
