    This announcement is being made jointly by Infomagic and the
    Debian Project. Unfortunately, the data placed on the
    "InfoMagic Linux Developer's Resource 5-CD Set November 1995"
    as "Debian 1.0" is _not_ the Debian 1.0 release, but an early
    development version which is only partially in the ELF
    format, will probably not boot or run correctly, and does not
    represent the quality of a released Debian system. To prevent
    confusion between the premature CD version and the actual
    Debian release, the Debian Project has renamed its next
    release to "Debian 1.1". The premature Debian 1.0 on CD is
    deprecated and should not be used.

    The Debian Project continues to develop its 1.1 release.
    Meanwhile, they suggest users install only the stable Debian
    0.93R6 release, which is available at ftp.debian.org and its
    mirror sites. Since Debian supports in-place upgrades to
    later versions, an installed Debian 0.93R6 system may be
    upgraded to Debian 1.1 without any need to wipe out the older
    system.

    InfoMagic and the Debian Project apologize for this mistake.
    Closer communication between our two groups will prevent this
    from happening again.
