Do you mean you want to remove the links to the unofficial *stable* netinst
images on http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/? I'm asking because the only
*testing* netinst images that are mentioned are the debian installer ones.

I'm a bit reluctant to see the links to the *stable* netinst images go -
after all, stable is the one distribution we are supposed to support most. 
;-/

Or ar you talking about Manty's full testing CD images on
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/cd/jigdo-area/? Or Attila's
unofficial ones on
ftp://ftp.fsn.hu/pub/CDROM-Images/debian-unofficial/sarge/jigdo/?

Cheers,

  Richard

Not talking about stable, only testing. The bits I'm talking about are:

  http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/

I am having problems with receiving a shipment from 
tuxcds.com.  They do not respond to email and there voice mail is too full 
to allow a message.  So I was wondering if you know anything about this 
distribution group or how to get their attention.  Some one is there to 
take the money but no one seems to be there to do the shipping or 
correspondence.

Those pages list two sources of testing CDs, the ones on gluck and the ones 
on fsn.hu, so I guess those are the ones you mean.

I'm all for reducing the number of different flavours of CD images - we
seem to be aiming for all combinations of unstable/testing/stable times
full-CD/full-DVD/businesscard-netinst/small-CD-netinst times
official/unofficial, which is way too much to choose from for people who
"just want to download Debian". :-/

However, AIUI the beta 4 installer CD images are only available as "small
CD" images, i.e. you need a network connection on the machine that Debian
is installed on. It'd be a very bad idea to just remove all traces of the
other CD images from the web pages, since a large number of people do not
have access to a fast network when they install.

So, my own opinion is: We cannot just remove the full testing CD images
right now, so let's start producing full debian-installer CD and DVD sets!

I'm not sure how easy it would be for you (debian-installer folks) to
produce .jigdos for these kinds of images, but this seems the most
straightforward solution. Once debian-installer based images are there, the
testing CD images from other sources are no longer needed.

Cheers,

  Richard

These files are produced weekly. It turns out that due to no testing,
the full CDs are broken (see my earlier mail to debian-cd,
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>), so there is no point in including
it in beta4. Since I posted that, CD detection by base-config has been
fixed, but the other problems (lack of X, no network config, lack of
discover1, lack of kde and gdm) remain unfixed AFAIK.

However, I doubt the fsn.hu full CDs are in any better shape.
