All the mirrors are now updated. I want everyone to know that Robert Shingledecker is responsible for virtually all the improvements in this release. He really did an amazing job.

Thanks for the new release

However, if the dpkg program is installed with the dpkg-restore script, wouldn't that mean you'd have to do a dpkg-restore before you could install any .deb packages while running from CD? I think there are some scripts out there that download the .deb and extract it with dpkg -x to /home/damnsmall or /opt, and these wouldn't work without a dpkg-restore first (or would they?).

One of the things Robert did was to make the dpkg restoration process restore not just the dpkk/ folder but all the dpkg* and apt* utilities. They are quite bulky, and we saved some space by doing it this way.
