Hello, Perhaps someone knowledgeable on this list can comment: were the d-i netboot and floppy images rebuilt for 4.0r2 ?
Up-to-date debian mirrors have netboot and floppy images identical to 4.0r1 (from what I can make out). The 4.0r2 press release [1] says: "The installer has been updated to use and support the updated kernels included in this release. This change causes old netboot and floppy images to stop working; updated versions are available from the regular locations." To my mind (and atleast one other on #debian-boot) this implies that I should expect 4.0r2 netboot and floppy images to have date stamps and file contents different from 4.0r1 images. My observation is that this is not the case. I (and one other on #debian-boot) have completed netboot installs of 4.0r2 using the netboot images identical to 4.0r1. To save confusion I would like to propose the following sentence be added to the Errata [2] under the existing heading "Errata for release 4.0r2": "Despite the release announcement indicating that there are updated netboot and floppy images it should be noted that the netboot and floppy images for 4.0r2 are identical to those for 4.0r1." Perhaps someone knowledgeable can comment on the veracity of the above sentance and if appropriate forward the proposal to the errata editor.
