Hi, As you may or may not have spotted, we're planning to release Etch this weekend, the 7th/8th April. Yay! The current schedule includes me running the CD and DVD builds during the day on Saturday (UTC), ready for us to release with the archive simultaneously on Sunday morning. To help do that, I'm looking for volunteers to test CD/DVD installations on as many of our architectures as possible. I can perform *some* testing on i386 and amd64 reasonably well myself, but that's as far as it goes.
I'll be giving out *private*[1] pointers to the images as they come available on Saturday so that testers will get early access. I'm hoping that we won't find any issues in these builds, but of course we can't guarantee that. The most sensible way for you to grab the images will be using jigdo, or direct http if you have the bandwidth for that to be useful. We will *not* be issuing torrent files for these images until we know we're ready to release them, for obvious reasons... :-) If you think you may be able to help, reply to this mail (to debian-cd) and let me know. Thanks in advance! [1] private so that we don't end up fighting for bandwidth with the Slashdot crowd, mainly -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.
