I'd like to go into freeze with a mildly functional boot-floppies. Unfortunately, I'm too busy to hack code for this. Anyhow, so this is a big concern for potato. However, I think we should just start by basically zoinking the RedHat initrd stuff, as much as we can. I know Corel is interested in this too. Richard, you forgot a number of other items: What architectures will be in potato? Clearly, all the slink ones -- will PowerPC be ready too? Hurd-i386? (good god, I don't want to even *think* about what we'll need for Hurd boot-floppies -- *shudder*) Debian-CD has a number of problems that need fixing; see the Bugs against the package. Join <debian-cd> to help. Are we going to go ahead and try out my new "Release Team" concept? If so, let's make the mailing list and troll the right people to join. BTW, I think it's good to set an *optimistic* freeze date, so people aren't shocked. I would set it at July 1, or maybe Bastille day (Debian pomme de terre?). -- .....Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]<URL:http://www.onShore.com/>
