Note: debian-cd and debian-live build scripts are different. Debian-live are not provided via jigdo but just as single bootable images. Debian-live for i386 is almost unusable given the amount of memory it takes to boot up a live CD image well and to load all running components into memory. As far as possible, the image testing team no longer spend huge amounts of time on 32 bit Debian live images. Andy > Jeff >
