They still have some problems with the X server (the xdm and X wrapper),
so it might take some more time (I can't tell how much...)

I'll order some too, we can do it together to save some of the sending&
handling fees. From my experience LSL is the best place for Debian Disks
(the rest vendors don't put non-us and  usually don't sell all the
official disks), and they also let you donate 5$ to the Debian project.

I'm willing to do it, but release it in a .ps (PostScript) file so people
with Linux only systems can use it too (OTOH, people with Linux-only
systems should not have problems installing Debian :o) )

As a side note for your .sig: 
" Of course Unix is a user friendly OS, it is just very peaky about her
friends..." -- I don't know who said it, and I'm sure this is not the
exact original form.
