You mean zip-crypt? I did not find it on the CD either.
Could you also consider including ISDN packages on the CD and updating
packages with recent security advisories (exim, man-db)? And maybe
update Samba to 2.2.0 (all RC-bugs don't affect us AFAICS).

This is really bad. To me it looks like this CD is for end users and
not professional admins (that's why we have KDE and Gnome, right?) and
they will really miss Netscape - hust talk to them and ask which browser
they are using. There is no working alternative browser yet, not even
Opera. The second point is a missing JDK - and I'm not talking about
kaffe here. :-((

Yes I can submit bug reports, but my intention was to improve the CD
images - I don't see how bug reports could do this now. I'm not really
happy with the CD quality yet and it does not take much to make large
improvements (I offered to build the new base.tgz) so why do you insist
on a snapshot CD with quality limitations?
My company (trustsec) is going to sponsor the CD so their name will be
on the CD. If the CD has obvious problems (which are easy to fix) this
will cause bad reputation for Debian and all sponsors. :-(

I'm sure that this will be done before woody gets released but this does
not help us now. base2_3.tgz will contain the new locales version so the
config file must be there with default settings from the installer.
The CTRL-Z-and-edit-hack will only be used for upgrades.

IMHO there were too many untested changes to base-config and dbootstrap.
I think we should just upgrade some packages in base.tgz with the versions
from testing (which are already on the CD as .deb). This does not require
any recompilation at all - just unpack base.tgz and "dpkg -i" in a
chroot there.

Right, that was the problem.

I'd rather fix them than document them. The remaining ones should be
doumented, of course.
I'm away until Sunday. If you want me to build the new base.tgz, I can do
it on Monday. Happy weekend! :)
