Boot disks have one show-stopper bug, already published to debian-devel.
Cold-install instruction edit isn't done. Mostly it's just changing URLs.
ETA for both of those, tomorrow or late tonight.
The other action item would be placing a copy of the X 3.2 packages
from "bo" in a special directory with instructions for upgrading and
its own Packages file. The X upgrade can be treated as a "distribution"
like "non-free" or "contrib", and the user can easily upgrade to X 3.2
with just a few commands to dpkg-ftp. I will also make sure it's
included on CDs by mentioning it in the CD manufacturer release notes.
The "xdependencies" package would have to be constructed. Guy or I can
do all of this in an hour or so. I probably would not get to it
tonight, so if you can get to it first, Guy, please go ahead. That will
neatly remove the major open issue with 1.2, and leave the user in charge
of which X is installed.
We also have to move in some things from Incoming.
So, there are a number of items that are holding us up for a day or two.
Please wait for clearance on these.

Let's work on it together, please. If you'd like to send me what you have,
I can edit it.
> Consider it done [beta test].
OK, Valerie and I are off to Grandma's until after dinner. Happy
Thanksgiving!
