That would be easy, I could run one on cdimage.d.o at all times except release time when it would be repointed to another host. How about the hostname debcd-tracker.acc.umu.se? I feel that I need a zone where I can as local admin change the RR quickly and with a low ttl, so I guess the debian.org zone won't be an option. > The debian-installer group is currently struggling to get > autobuildable images.

There will probably be a need to contribute wrapper scripts for this though so that the generation is less painful. /Mattias Wadenstein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
