What would helpful is if Attila Nagy would loop the CD image so people could download the boot-floppies. It would also mean that they could look at what has been included in the CD. debian-cd is very fussy about what it includes and it would be very helpful to find out why certain packages have not been included. As it turned out the butchering of boot-floppies was quite straight forward and I hope to have another crack at this in about a week. debian-CD is more difficult to handle at the moment mainly because it "audits" packages and their dependencies. There is quite a bit of work that needs to be done here by package maintainers. If I had not switched off mirror-check there would not have been any CD. I have applied to become a Debian Maintainer and once I am through the process I should be able to upload various scripts and DV, submit disks-hurd-i386 for inclusion in the mirror.
