I'll think about that next week again but we can or should discuss this asap so
we have a clean base we can work and test with.

Ok I've a few more things up for discussion.
My local mirror and the cd build process is working now and I hope that I unterstand
the main parts of the cd creation process now. Most stuff is based on Joergs work
from last year so the fame for that still belongs to him. All flames about what I did
with his work should be directed to me ;)

My personal to-do list (w3m ftp://hxt.homelinux.org/lt2003/todo.sven) contains the
following stuff:
- general docu upgrades, maybe I should automate it and add that into the woody.hook
- add new versions of the books
- update for README.linuxtag
- new sponsors list
- double check wich kernel I use for which option in debian-cd/tools/boot/woody/boot-i386
I'm quite sure that I introduced errors in this script
- try to add backports e.g. mozilla
- review the package list
- testing, testing, testing

Please comment on it and feel free to suggest other things you've in mind.

You can take a look at the package list here:
w3m ftp://hxt.homelinux.org/lt2003/1_NONUS.packages
Should be the same like last year.

If you like I can put my debian-cd directory and parts of the other stuff on the
ftp aswell.
I hope that I can offer you a iso image for testing on Sunday when I updated parts
of the documention (dahb for example).

Joerg: Once again a big 'thank you' for your nice explanations :)
