Re: Subtle changes to debian-cd
My thoughts exactly. I think that the problems of the slink release have
been sorted, debian_cd works with slink. I almost trust it enough to
produce slink CDs.
A lot of potato is ?? What would be helpful imho would be some warning of
the potato freeze and that would give us more time to panic.
A potato boot disk set early on in the piece would make the panic more
productive.
