just default to lenny as live-helper does. why do you need to know the name of lenny+1? live-helper as well as live-initramfs which will be in lenny are not supposed to use/build/work on anything else than lenny (and in parts, etch). >> * Upload new autobuild images for amd64/i386/powerpc and sparc (unsure >> about status about sparc, though). > > The status of sparc is that it worked for me under Etch when I initially > ported it but I've never tested lenny images (as my machine was being used as > a router at the time and qemu does not support sparc64).
