Actually, I asked some newbielike people to check the site out WRT to CD stuff, and one of them traversed the site like this: / /distrib/ /distrib/netinst /CD/netinst/ At that point his newbie self was pretty confused :) because he didn't have any idea whatsoever what he would do with the "CD images". That's why I added the link to the FAQ. > (FWIW, only a few days ago we had the first person asking on debian-cd > how to "unpack those .iso files". Sigh.) You need to read more support channels, you'd see a shitload more of that. :) -- a regular reader of hr.comp.os.linux
