I did a successful network-based new install on the 29th with the only real glitch being the fact that /etc/apt/sources.list points to stable, which is right now, not very useful. What would be the possibility of changing the _distribution_ field from "stable" to "potato" until right before the release? BTW, kudos to the boot-floppies team for the good work.
