No. Unfortunately, I have no clear idea what exactly must be
changed... David, can you shed some light?
When we last talked about this, it seemed that the following would be
best:
- <100MB, should fit on a credit-card sized CD (=150MB) - maybe just
boot-floppies and base. One should be able to install via the net
even with hardware which is not supported by boot-floppies, e.g.
PCI ISDN cards.
- possibly also usable as a minmal rescue CD
- *not* several varieties of netinst images, just one, to avoid
confusion of users
- integrated into debian-cd so it's easy to create netinst CDs
whenever a regular CD release is prepared.
BTW, I have no intention of doing the changes myself, just of prodding
everybody else hard enough to make it happen. ;-P
Cheers,
Richard
