Right, I noticed that yesterday evening as well. It has been a long time since I last generated a few images myself... This I just corrected that by adding the corresponding kernel images to the tasks/exclude-sarge file. I only kept 2.4.24-1 and 2.6.0-1 (2.6.1 doesn't seem to be in testing yet). Please understand that the process of selecting which packages goes on which CD can't be 100% automatic thus humans have to show how things are going and give appropriate overrides/hints to debian-cd. Because of the kernel images CD image 1 had only 340 packages instead of about 1000... BTW, I also suggest to use NORECOMMENDS=1 because otherwise you get too many packages included just because of a Recommends on a virtual package (this includes all the packages that provide the given virtual package). There's no need to file a bug against debian-cd, the shortcoming is well known, but sending mails like the one you did does help when you notice that an override would be welcome. Manty, can you update debian-cd on gluck so that images are better ?
