Some thoughts
We just had a little talk/workshop/discussion regarding the iso mirroring situation. Some thoughts and ideas: Most people liked the long filenames (debian-30r1-alpha-binary-1.iso) better, so lets go with this even if it makes the rsync hardlink tricks a bit more tricky. Any objections? One suggestion for being able to have testing images that are just a simple repoint away from actual release would be to have a similar setup in the debian-cd dir as the main archive: debian-cd/ woody/ sarge/ stable -> woody testing -> sarge And then just repoint the stable link at release time. Otherwise it seemed to be a general consensus that splitting into cd-master and cdimage was a good idea and hopefully this could be done soon, perhaps even before an r2 woody release to be able to use that as a test case. Having a master site with an authorative directory and naming structure was also seen as a good thing. There was also a request for a contrib-directory for knoppix or a few more knoppix mirrors in .us. I fear that with every extra gig in debian-cd/ we are going to lose more full mirrors though. But perhaps a couple of mirror admins in .us could take a look at mirroring it? I'm taking a look if the initial cdimage -> a few mirrors distribution can be done with bittorrent or if that is too inefficient/difficult/whatever. /Mattias Wadenstein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Burned it (probably the old non non-us version, I started downloading a couple of days ago) on a SONY DRU-500A and it works fine. The DVD is bootable and woody installed neatly from it. Nice work!
