Hello! I know I'm subscribed to the digest for this mailing list so I don't know if it's been addressed yet, but it's not just the amd64 cd images. I've noticed that they're all too big since. At least since the 12th September. For people wanted to test actual hardware I think it may be a problem if the cd images remain so big as they won't be able to burn them.
I filled a bug about this: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/139646 Cheers, Tim > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Scott Ritchie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: Murat Gunes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Sun, 16 Sep 2007 21:41:53 -0700 > Subject: Re: The latest amd64 nightly desktop ISO is 730 megs > Murat Gunes wrote: > > Bryce wrote: > >> That really does not make any sense if thats the case.
