Hi David, Yes, that's exactly the reasoning. The official mirrors of debian-cd need/want a single tree that they can mirror safely for just the current release, and that's why we have the separation. The archive area is simply meant to be a non-mirrored static archive of older releases that we keep around for posterity. We also *don't* keep all the full ISO images in that area for each release, relying instead on jigdo for many of the old images. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com You raise the blade, you make the change...
