Well, ideally we need somebody to run and manage a testing installation. The second best are stable installation images with a set of known working packages, but that is quite some work as well (as was just shown by Philip). I think a mini-ISO which includes the packages installed by default (i.e. base or whatever you want that to be) is useful. Sure, apt-get install foo afterwards might not work, but so is life in unstable. Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
