The Official CD images are meant for the big CD vendors, so we don't have them
doing a run of 1000 CD's which they didn't build correctly. For you, it would
be better to tweak the scripts to your own needs, build your own images from a
local mirror, and burn them. (That's what I do)

Let's see if we cannot fit it on www.uk.debian.org (where Andreas is currently
building the 4CD set). If people can come up with tweaks for the scripts, to
build this Debian-Lite CD, we could just include it in the main makefile, and
generate them all at the same time.
open.hands.com (what www.uk.debian.org is really called) is getting down to
it's last gig. on the partition where the CD images sit, so I'm going to get
another drive for it. Once that's done we can have a whole load of
alternative cuts of the Official CD generated there if people want them.
Cheers, Phil.
