Re: "old" Potato i386 Net-Install CDROM
Greetings,
I remembered this coming up back in June, are we going to have the net
install CD's again? They were great!
Just looking for trouble to make,

The Net-Install CD is not recommended because there are lots of bugs in the
install system, that are already fixed in the newest "official" version. It
basically was generating unnecesary (and thus annoying) bug reports ;-)
However, there is work being done on a different approach that fits better
in
the current CD-image generation procedure, which will produce small-size
CD's
with not only the install system, but also optionally a selection of popular
packages. This should be ready around potato-release time.
