Hello,

It looks to me some of us might be waiting for a new i386 version ready to test. I read
only a PPC release will be missing as there isn't any tester for it, apart from that I
can alsmost see the ones who are in the starting blocks to get a new smaller ISO and fill
some of the testcases.

People, am I wrong?

Best regards,
Mélodie
