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:
ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-linux-cd/distributions/
