Looking at the history of the website in CVS, www.debian.org/CD/ came
into being with the following commit:
revision 1.1
date: 2002-01-02 19:57:54 +0000; author: joy; state: Exp;
moving not-strictly-cdimage stuff down to CD; adjusted index pages for the move
which *is* post-Potato (August 2000). I can also say with a fair
amount of certainty that cdimages.debian.org (plural) never existed -
I've been working on producing CDs for Debian since the Hamm days and
it's not been there at any point that I know of.
