I'm not a Debian developer, but I know that when I whined and griped about the long delay in releasing Sarge, "The installer isn't done" was the commonest reason I was given for the wait. Since it isn't Debian policy to freeze the release for say, a year, while one package (the installer) is completed, other stuff got updated while the installer was being worked on, and presumably some of that ended up with release-critical bugs so that when the installer was ready, they had to be fixed up before the release could be made. -- Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabootu's Minister of Proofreading http://www.jabootu.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
