cool.

The largest problem, which is fixed in the newer ISO, is the fact that
grub would not install itself to the boot sector.

I had to release a new ISO, as the next release will not be until mid
2006, which will be the first 'stable' release - aka: having proper,
config tools, better networking, better hotpluging, as bug-free as
possible, etc.

Correct. This ISO is just another ISO of 0.3, with less packages on the
CD to ease bandwidth restrictions, for overseas downloads. It only
contains the base and all the source packages for the base. The rest of
the packages are downloaded as needed.

Since I had to make a new ISO, I also applied all the updates that had
existed so far.


I have 0.3 on my internal server.. (http://mesh.net.nz/media) -- but

good idea. Um, your link doesn't appear to work...


Gerald has also kindly offered to host it on his server. I am in the
process of uploading it there now.
