    So, *builds* work fine but I've not *yet* tested actually
    booting/using one of these images in any way. I've just triggered a
    full build of "testing" live images now, please help test if you can
    once they're in place at [2] in a couple of hours from now.


    VERY impressed with the array of install options immediately presented including text install, text with speech synthesis etc.

    Debian-live standard .iso - the text mode one with no GUI - failed at
    an early step because no kernel modules were detected.

    Continuing, predictably it failed as per warnings because no network
    device could be decected.

    [1] "yay" for the long-standing tradition of services failing as we
    get close to a release: this time it was casulana and salsa...

    At least this time it wasn't buildings burning down ... and they were very quick to get this sorted. Kudos to the admins and all involved.

    All best,
