Re: update "Live dvd-image voor i386 (ISO)"
Hi both,
I fully agree - I submitted patches to the list a few months back [1] to tidy up the blend website to remove links to the iso amongst a few other things.
I don't think we've got the people or time to maintain the disks actively, just pointing people to the metapackages is enough for the moment unless the process can be fully automated and not require testing ever(!)
