I'm a bit reluctant to see the links to the *stable* netinst images go - after all, stable is the one distribution we are supposed to support most. ;-/ Or ar you talking about Manty's full testing CD images on http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/cd/jigdo-area/? Or Attila's unofficial ones on ftp://ftp.fsn.hu/pub/CDROM-Images/debian-unofficial/sarge/jigdo/?

The bits I'm talking about are: http://www.debian.org/CD/http-ftp/ http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/ Those pages list two sources of testing CDs, the ones on gluck and the ones on fsn.hu, so I guess those are the ones you mean. I'm all for reducing the number of different flavours of CD images - we seem to be aiming for all combinations of unstable/testing/stable times full-CD/full-DVD/businesscard-netinst/small-CD-netinst times official/unofficial, which is way too much to choose from for people who just want to download Debian. :-/ However, AIUI the beta 4 installer CD images are only available as small CD images, i.e. you need a network connection on the machine that Debian is installed on. It'd be a very bad idea to just remove all traces of the other CD images from the web pages, since a large number of people do not have access to a fast network when they install. So, my own opinion is: We cannot just remove the full testing CD images right now, so let's start producing full debian-installer CD and DVD sets! I'm not sure how easy it would be for you (debian-installer folks) to produce .jigdos for these kinds of images, but this seems the most straightforward solution. Once debian-installer based images are there, the testing CD images from other sources are no longer needed.
