Hi,
I renamed this since it's taking on a life of it's own unrelated to
the original title.

I agree it's a bit unprofessional that there are so many loose ends
and bits and pieces to sort out. I think TS would do themselves some
credit if these things were a bit more finished.
They are advertised as fully working debian images not half finished
example files.
This is especially true for the sdcards drivers where source is not
even available.
I think this is the server you want:
