I have looked into it myself, the cds should be bootable now, as soon as I
clean up the powerpc changes I outlined in my last post I'll commit the
changes to debian-cd.

Distribution via Internet2

2003-10-09 Thread Scott Atchley
Hi,
We have been asked to distribute your ISOs for Internet2-connected 
users. We run a research testbed for sharable, wide-area, distributed 
storage. We offer tools that allow users to store and retrieve data 
stored on this testbed. Because these storage servers are on Internet2, 
users connected to Internet2-connected campuses can download the 
content at speeds from 30-90 Mbps (or faster if they have gigabit 
connections to the backbone and all the way through to their machine).

You can read more about it at:
http://linux.dsi.internet2.edu/
Please add the above link to your mirror list for the United States and 
add "(for Internet2 users only)" after the link.

If you have any questions, please email us at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks,
Scott

Dedication to 'Espy' still on CDs?

2003-10-09 Thread Frank Bauer
Hi.

I', testing sarge netinst iso and I've noticed, that there are
still those files about dedication to Joel 'Espy' Klecker,
which were introduced for _potato_ and were also on _woody_ discs.

With all respect to him, isn't time to remove those files from
CDs?

[about offering Debian CD-images via BitTorrent]
I suspect I'm not the only one that thinks that this might be a good idea.
I'm actually planning on offering this, what I'd like feedback on is how
official it should be.
I know that people like BitTorrent, and it that it is a nice P2P-System.
But what is the point of a second distribution system besides a 
perfectly working distribution system that uses already existing staging 
points?

I don't see an advantage in BitTorrent. It needs new software, users to 
spread data, extra administration, support. Moreover jigdo is IMO the 
best way to spread Debian CDs, thanks to the nature of ISO9660.

I'm shure there must be more arguments...

Package: debian-cd
Version: current
Severity: normal
File: debian-cd

The current netinst iso build at gluck.debian.org for powerpc
(on 10/7/2003) is not an hfs volume. When I downloaded it last
week, I think it was. The CD needs hfs in order to be bootable 
on powermacs.
