I have given the go-ahead for Debian 1.2 to be released. Currently ftp.debian.org and the mirror at BNL have up-to-date archives. Other mirrors are catching up, and we'll hold off on the release announcement until they are in sync. Most critical is that your mirror have the 1996-12-8 boot floppy set, as the 1996-12-7 one was a mess.
You are welcome to jump the gun and get Debian 1.2 from the "frozen" directory. I'd appreciate it if a good number of the regular crowd on debian-user go through the installation procedure ASAP, so that you are able to help out people who are just starting to use Debian. As always, the Debian developers are grateful for the efforts of our regular users on debian-user. Thanks Bruce -- Bruce Perens K6BP [EMAIL PROTECTED] Finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP public key.

I was upgrading parts of the system using the full whack of stable and unstable dirs. During upgrading dkpg-ftp it says it depends on libnet. Fair enough, I'll get that too only to find that during the process it barfs with a "can't get libnet" type of error. This has the result that dpkg-ftp is now broken (U). Pressing Shift-R has no effect it getting back to my previous state so I uninstalled dpkg-ftp hoping to install the old one back from my Iconnect CD. Wrong!. After doing a CD update I find that Dpkg-ftp isn't listed. It must be on it somewhere since it's installed from a fresh installation so it must be on the CD. Can anyone pleaae help me here. This is the second time this has happened, the last time I just done a full installation to get it back. Something I've done 8 times in the last 8 months and I have no wish to do it anymore. Thank you.
