[ale] Various Rambling Linux Thoughts/Difficulties

[Bao Ha]

I would not reccommend downloading the CD ISO images directly.

Please go to http://cdimage.debian.org for the proper way of doing it.

The reccommended way is to:

- grab the pseudo-image-kit
- build the ISO images using a close-by mirror
- use rsync to complete the official ISO images

By doing this, you lighten the load on the servers containing the
official ISO images, and allow more people to access them.  Plus,
rsync will recover from crashes and repair any discrenpacies between
your images and the official one.

Thank you for that - perhaps now to change the splash screen to something
custom...

AAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH. Oh well, at least _that_ I can fix when somebody
points it out... (I really wish that I could see mispellings when I
attempt to proof things). Thank you for the heads up.
