I hope you mean no links out of the CD image itself.  There are lots of links 
within the various images that are harmless because they stay within the 
specific image.  The only image that has links pointing to another image at 
this time is the unstable one.  (hee hee, maybe that's why it's "unstable" ;) 
Oh well, pardon the sad attempt...

I agree that there should not be links from one CD image into another.  
However, there are, so I'm tweaking the scripts I use to generate my images to 
copy the necessary pieces of "bo" onto the "unstable" CD before I burn it.

If those are the "images" in the dist (or is it dists??) directory, the 
unstable one points at hamm, but hamm has lots of symbolic links back into bo. 
So, I had gotten a "complete" unstable image by taking everything from the 
dist(s)/unstable (symlink) directory and adding the bo tree to it so the 
symlinks would resolve.  I guess what I really need to do at this point is 
just copy the pieces of the bo tree that are referenced by those symlinks -- 
just a little more coding.

Thanks,
