[ale] Debian 3.0 as a server platform?

[James Sumners]

Net Install CDs became popular after the release of Woody. LordSutch's
netinst CDs (http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian-minicd/) work very well
and I have used them in the past. I have also built my own for some
machines that the default install bootfloppy images wouldn't work
with. The installer team has been building netinst CDs for Sarge so I
would imagine that will continue after its release.

You didn't say you were looking for a network install disc, you just
said "ISO" :)
