I'll upload them in the next few weeks once I've finalised the structure and tested them & convinced Zen to increase the disk space on ftp.armedslack.org ;-) The main sticking point is the hard drive formatting. I know Peter Naulls wrote some good docs for this, but I'm wondering whether people will really want to repartition their hard disk -- especially if they only have one. And if you Do only have one, and will be installing using the CDs -- you're out of choices if you only have the motherboard IDE without IDE or SCSI expansion cards (and perhaps even with SCSI expansion cards since the Linux Kernel support for the cards isn't in good shape - PowerTec for example kernel panics the moment it detects the hardware). Hmmm. I suppose we could document a number of possibile installation options. *scratches head*
