The full cd builds happen weekly, not monthly, every friday (yes, that is today). As for the rest of the things, Raphael has exposed things well, we can do whatever you want with the cds, in fact, the change is so easy that we just have to change one script to change the ordering of the boot methods in the cds, right now the first one is isolinux, the second one is boot floppy emulation with cdrom-image, so, we change the order and that's it. The only problem is that cdrom-image doesn't have any help, so it just echoes the prompt of syslinux and that's it. I believe that if you want to change the cd ordering or even have the same ordering in the full cd set, but have boot-floppy emulation booting in the netinst/businesscard cds, you just have to add the help screens to cdrom-image syslinux and when images with that config are build, you tell me and I make the changes and the new images, that's it.
