Minimal Hardy Alpha Images
 

Hi!

Is it possible to create minimal cd images of hardy alpha releases?
I think about an image that is less than 100MB and contains only the
absolute necessary packages to run the live cd.
Add a torrent for this image and testing alpha releases would be _much_ easier.
Right now I have to download more than 600MB.

I promise to test _every_ alpha release if you provide such an image. ;)

Hello.

For the average user, the 685MB takes about 10-20 minutes to download.
Not really a big deal. I think there are more than enough beta testers
already so I don't think you should hold your breath waiting for such an
image :) I think it's amazing that it's _only_ 685MB.

Ps. I'm not a developer.

You are using rsync for updating images, aren't you?

That page is hopefully helpful.
