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.
