iso image

Updating the debian image would be a cool thing.
I did the one for Potato and I think Frank did the Woody one and I 
wouldn't mind doing the Woddy one again but I don't have a machine on a 
fast connection that has the hd space or horse power to do this in a good 
amount of time.
Might want to talk to Frank about how he modified the installers because 
when I did it I just replaced US key map with speakup and added speakup in 
to the kernels and recompiled the images. Basically what I did was take 
the kernel-source package and added speakup the tree and then made the 
.bz2 file again and when the build script for the images went through the 
questions the speakup ones weren't answered so I just answered those and 
it finished.
Think they've change the process somewhat though since I plaid with it.

Laters.
