The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

When you get it working, could you provide an archive of that NFS disk
so people can put it on another machine if they have a LAN?  This would
make adding new machines to our network much faster than the several
install disks or mounting from off-site.

Maybe even make an "nfs-root" package?
