 Also, the concept of lifting bans only on demand creates a black list as a

 make things easier for everybody after a while.

Indeed, thanks for the clear words.

Downloading and installation of 8 CDs and 3 DVDs for just one debian GNU/Linux

Downloading and installation of 8 CDs and 3 DVDs for just one debian
GNU/Linux, its too heavy. Rewrite this Operating System in C language and
make it smaller than one GB. Thanks.

Just distribute one ISO file instead of so many torrents and make it easy
for down-loaders. Thanks.

John,

This is probably off topic for debian-project and better for debian-user
but I'll leave this here so that it can be found by others.

If you have network bandwidth: use one netinst CD - less than 300 MB
to download.

There's a lot to Debian - 30,000 packages to choose from. Lots in C,
some in C++, Ruby, bash script, python ...

If you don't have network bandwidth to download packages directly from
the 'Net, then DVD1 should provide more than enough to build a decent 
working system with common options. 4.4GB maximum.

Copying also to debian-cd so that search engines can find this here too.

All the best,

AndyC

 I guess that the story is simpler than this: time-limited bans do not seem to
 be supported natively in Debian's mailing list engine (SmartList), so if one
 wants to see our listmasters use time-limited bans more often, then somebody
 has to spend time to implement this function.

I hereby do solemnly volunteer to write an coc unban [ADDRESS] command that

Obviously the parties responsible for empowering me to do this are on
this list because they would ban me if I called them mean names. 
Responsible parties, please let me know where to start reading the code

Thank you.

There isn't any. You write procmail in the correct configuration file to
add a ban. You remove procmail in the correct configuration file to
remove the ban.

If you're willing to commit to write an appropriate tool that can be
called from within a procmail script to implement banning and unbanning
on the based of a passed message, then I believe listmaster@ (or at
least, I) would be willing to write up a specification for the software.

Can we just generate that procmail file or at least the section in
question? We can take this to private email if you like and blog about
next steps and or progress.
