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.
