Re: debian-testing to provide help (fwd)

cd burner, try out the script at:

The i386 stuff works fine, with a similar setup to the Hamm discs - the
normal image on disc 1 and the tecra image on disc 2. I'm looking at the
m68k stuff right now; it looks as though Atari and Amiga do not support
bootable CDs, I'm not sure about m68k Macs. Alpha is apparently doable
once we get some testers, and I've got some sparc info also now...

It does, yes. My own home systems are using the multi-cd CDs now for
upgrades and I've installed a couple of new systems from scratch using
them too. All on i386 so far, but I don't see any major arch differences
in this respect. And the multi-cd stuff should work with any custom
arrangements that people may want to make, as the Packages.cd files are
generated automatically from the temporary trees.
>3) How far are you from having the slink-cd program setup for a tester

It's ready now. If you get down the script v0.95 and have a look, all the
information you need should be contained there.
