retitle 557245 debian-cd changes for the squeeze release notes thanks Here's my suggested diff for the release notes. I've moved the discussion about CDs into a separate section, plus:
* update the numbers (CDs/DVDs/BDs) * mention that some packages are missed out of the CD sets, but not DVD/BD * mention i386/amd64 isohybrid feature * added BD to the glossary section -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com Is there anybody out there?
