Right you are. CCed to debian-www. Could you guys add something like
If you test the image and want to report the results, please use
<a href="http://people.debian.org/~pere/debian-installer/report-template.html";>this template</a>
to the text about the testing net install images on /CD/netinst/? Thanks.

There are two build processes, really, first you have to produce the
floppy image that goes on the CD. That shouldn't be harder than checking
out the d-i cvs, going to the build directory and typing (as root)
make TYPE=cdrom floppy_image
There's some user-mount-hack there that I don't know how well it works.
If you don't want to do this, you can use Tollef's daily builds at
http://people.debian.org/~tfheen/d-i/images/
Next, you use debian-cd to build the CDs. I don't really know anything
about this, so you'll have to talk to them about it.

You can read the docs in http://cvs.debian.org/debian-installer/doc/
Some of it is out of date, but the general architecture still holds.
