They F***** up. Again. Never get an InfoMagic set if you want Debian.
The first version they sold was 0.97, they claimed it was 1.0 on the
box. Several other versions they issued missed files, I remember one
with the xbase package missing. Now all they have to do is copy an
image, they start mentioning the wrong version again. They do have the
correct version on their website (there it says 1.3). There must be
someone at InfoMagic that hates Debian, or otherwise they are extremely
clueless. Both are good enough reason not to buy from them. If I were
you, I'd try to get a refund.
