No problem - I was just worried that we'd not heard any public plans yet. It'll take a bit of prep work for me to get things ready for a separate release build for CDs, so I was wondering if that would be needed. Please keep us updated on plans, and let's see what we can do. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.st...@einval.com Every time you use Tcl, God kills a kitten. -- Malcolm Ray -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bsd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Jimmy Johnson field.engin...@gmail.com (2015-04-21): Can the mini.iso be made to work with unetbootin or any of the iso's for that matter ? I've been trying off and on for month's to get KFeeBSD installed with no luck. Don't use unetbootin and just use dd, cat, or cp as advised in the installation guide. unetbootin is a recipe for disasters. (Also, please don't hijack threads.)

[1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2014/11/msg5.html Thanks for bringing this up, Steve. Another place that will likely need an update is the devel/debian-installer area of the Debian website[1]. I'm not sure whether we should link to other places if unofficial releases happen there, or whether that should be done from the ports page[2]. At first glance, dropping the kfreebsd-* archs entirely from images.data would be the easiest, but we can try and accomodate for a location change (which means more text about the fact it's unofficial, possibly hosted elsewhere, and that means an extra effort on the translation side). 1. https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ 2. https://www.debian.org/ports/kfreebsd-gnu/ Mraw, KiBi.
