Actually, I agree with that, too! :) [snip] > The more general the support in debian-cd, the better.

IIRC, offering a choice of images to boot from is difficult... there was some discussion here a while ago about the different ways, and none seemed to work 100%. > > BTW, I have no intention of doing the changes myself, just of > > prodding everybody else hard enough to make it happen. ;-P > > I'll look into it, but were you going to be maintaining the > "official" Debian netinst CD?

Well, my idea is that once support for netinst CDs is in debian-cd, whoever generates the official images will always also create official netinst CD images. The netinst CDs would be maintained as part of debian-cd. I think I haven't got CVS write access for debian-cd ATM (actually, I've never tried;), but if you post any patches here and they work for other people, I'm certain they will make their way into CVS. Unfortunately, I'm not able to help myself because I lack both a permanent internet connection and a local Debian mirror...
