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. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com Support the Campaign for Audiovisual Free Expression: http://www.eff.org/cafe/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
