I would just like to show my support for a 0.7.1 or 0.8 updated iso. There have been quite a few changes since 0.7 which justify a new version so new Archers aren't confused, imo. A minimal FTP install iso or floppies would also be nice. No need to download even the base iso if you're just going to download all the packages anyways.
