Finalizing beta1: please dak copy-installer, urgent d-i, build images

Hi ftpmasters, release team, cd team,

please respectively, do:
- dak copy-installer
- urgent d-i
- start building installation images (I think it needs at least a
dinstall + a mirror pulse though); putting them into a “dot-dir”
for the time being would be nice.

I tested a few wheezy images built against sid's debian-installer and
the results don't look too bad. I've noticed the following issues, which
might end up as errata:
- desktop images (be it gnome cd 1, kde cd 1, or lightcd with either
lxde or xfce) aren't very functional without a network mirror: no
display manager for the first 2, and no web browser for the last 2.
- I couldn't switch from cd1 to cd2 in virtualbox; I guess I'll try
and debug that with Steve soon enough, if that happens with real
images too.

If there's anything I missed, please say so. Hopefully [1] is getting
better over time.

Hello Steve,

Cyril Brulebois (14/07/2012):
- start building installation images (I think it needs at least a
dinstall + a mirror pulse though); putting them into a “dot-dir”
for the time being would be nice.



I have modified the following things on pettersson:
- exit 0 for the crontab was reverted.
- USE_DAILY_DI is now commented out again.
- other bits were reverted too.

The only part remaining in svn diff is about what we discussed earlier,
IGNORE_MISSING_BOOT_SCRIPT=0, which probably wants a commit.

You can also kill any images I could have generated (looking at the
timestamps should be enough, the crontab has been disabled for roughly
24 hours), it's just getting too late here for my looking at those right
now.

Thanks for your time, and help during my tests.

Mraw,
KiBi.

Done. I'll delete the older d-i from testing in a few days time unless
anyone objects.
