Re: Bootable Woody Sparc CD's??
Sorry, I missed to cc the list on my last reply, that's why I leave all the
quoting. Mea culpa.

well, I could try that, but when I thought about that I thought on having
the images on $ARCH.cdimage.debian.net and that seems already way too long
if we use $ARCH.cdimage-unofficial.debian.net, well, it seems just too long
to me.
Of course we could set up a cdimage-unofficial.debian.net page like
the one I have now at cdimage.trasno.net and point there to all the
unofficial mirrors and images out there, but I think that for that we
already have cdimage.debian.org, don't we?
Well, there is no problem for me anyway to get that
cdimage-unofficial.debian.net domain and point it to my page and add there
all the stuff you all want. In fact, I have already added that hostname to
the db, and configured my apache to answer to that domain name, but it will
take some time for the db to be updated.

But there are at least alpha cds wich should be comming any day soon, as
soon as they fix some things in making cds bootable (any alpha guy around
that can tell us how this is going?), and others should be coming as well,
besides the growing of the new ports as they catch up.
