Since the images are Debian-specific stuff, I don't think they should be in ftp.gnu.org. There are two serious problems with doing that: - After the crack incident, shell access to gnuftp and getting the images into ftp.gnu.org through intermediate people won't be an easy and quick task as it should be. - It's not clear to me if the so-called FSF policy allows hosting Debian CD images (remember our discussion in web-hurd). Phil: I suggest you upload the images somewhere else, like your homedir in people.debian.org, then let third parties mirror them. -- Robert Millan "[..] but the delight and pride of Aule is in the deed of making, and in the thing made, and neither in possession nor in his own mastery; wherefore he gives and hoards not, and is free from care, passing ever on to some new work." -- J.R.R.T, Ainulindale (Silmarillion)
