Yes, I figured out that pandora doesn't have a mirror only later. A
possibility would be to keep a small partial mirror of only the packages
we need on pandora, or use a different machine...

That sounds good. How much bandwidth would that machine have for us to
download images for testing? Is it connected to the DFN (which would
probably to the fasted for most of us)?

IIRC the plans for the woody release images are definetely to have
pools, and it is also what I would favour. The question is what we are
doing with those packages not in pools yet? Should we move them to
pools on our cd? It would seems most consistent to more, and better than
have packages in the pool and in the dists structure. I should probably
have a look at debian-cd and how it copes with pools. Does anybody know?
