Hm, I guess I am the web page maintainer... A question "what's the difference between official/unofficial images?" would be nice - what should the answer be? I propose the following, based on Jan's answer: Official images are built by a member of the Debian CD team and have undergone some testing to ensure they work. Once they have been released, the images never change - if they turn out to be broken, a new set with a different version number is released. Unofficial images can be built by anyone - CD team members, other Debian developers or even advanced Debian users. Typically, they are more up-to-date, but have received less testing. Some have new features (e.g. installation support for new hardware), special sizes (DVD-sized, business card sized or similar), or contain additional software packages which are not part of Debian.

Sorry about that - and thanks for not threatening to sue Debian over this, like other people regularly do! ;-) I've changed the bottom of the page to this: English-language public mailing list for CDs/DVDs: Debian CD team <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cheers, Richard -- __ _ |_) /| Richard Atterer | GnuPG key: | \/�| http://atterer.net | 0x888354F7 � '` � -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
