RE: FW: Test Cycle Three
I don't think they've made any TC3 cd's just yet. First to be up to date
will be the i386 ftp archive (I think that's done now), then the
autobuilders for other archs will catchup, and finally the CD images will be
made. If I seem something about the cd images being done, I'll forward that
over as well. So before testing, it's probably a good idea to check that
the boot floppies and X packages are about the same as the i386.
Also http://cdimage.debian.org/potato_pre.html is probably a good place to
watch for CD updates.
