Well I spoke to Phil on Saturday to try and get a password for rsync of
the .isos - he gently refused and pointed me at jigdo.
I ran it on a redhat box and have managed to generate the i386 and source
isos, as well as dvds using jigdo without any major problems.
The biggest bugbear for me is that you cant run multiple instances of
jigdo in the same directory because they wipe out each others tmp dir
contents, ...

We're already shipping orders from www.cheeplinux.com for cd's and expect
to have pressed dvd's within 10 days of the images being signed off.
The dvd's will not be branded cheeplinux, but will be generic debian and
we will be offering them at very attractive prices to other debian cd
vendors - if anybody is interested email me.
