This list is about everything related to Debian CD images, creation of
(un)official CDs and distribution.
One way of distribution of the official images (with the Pseudo-Image Kit)
requires the "client" to build a nearly complete image that is binary patched
to be identical to the official one. If this confuses you, read the README of
the Pseudo-Image Kit, available via cdimage.debian.org.

At this moment, I've got e-mail adresses of most mirror sites in a manageable
"database", and I'll inform people when new images appear.
