Hi people,
I commited today some changes to debian-cd wrt the latest bug
about Packages and Release(.gpg) files. I haven't tested it much (only manty
helped me debug it this night), and I'd welcome other results to be sure

I also made a change to work with the latest boot floppies where

I think a validity checking part in debian-cd would be very nice.
BTW, what's the correct way to check an ISO made with the debian-cd
script?

No, that is such an oversimplification and what you have described of the
HURD CD's prooves that.
CD's may in fact contain content f

I think that we are trying to turn apples into oranges. The security of

A mirror can have one corrupt or sabotaged file amongst 2-3 and there
