Sorry about replying late, but I'm new to the list and still working
from digests until I get a feel for the traffic...
I thought about jigdo, but I've never used it and figured that I'd
end up with another 7 disks (well, 8 if you count the r0->r1 update),
and while I may hve to resort to that, I'd really rather just get one
update ISO like last time, and wondered if anyone knew of plans to
create one.
If there aren't any plans as yet, is there anyone that I can forward
the idea to to see if there's a possibility?
I'm really enjoying my debian experience so far, but working from an
african dialup basically makes apt-getting from the web a no-go (not
only in time but also expense). If I can coerce (erm.. I mean
convince ;-) someone on the debian inside to organise another update
ISO like the last one, it would _really_ make life easier as I could
convince a mate to download it for me from ITS and cut it to CD.
Jigdo would be well over his head, let alone ending up with 7 ISO's
to cut.
Any idea who I can petition to make one?
Cheers.
Dameon.
