Hello.

This is a (very, very) frequently asked question:

http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#not-all-images

Other disc images are meant to be downloaded/assembled with jigdo.

Best regards.

PS: By the way… I am thinking about launching a server which would
provide images absent on the main mirror (as well as some archival
ones). Is it desirable?
