I'm (obviously) not Chris and I don't work for LSWA.
However, woody (the collection of files that  will soon be known as "stable"),
has no frim release date. It will not be releaseed until it is ready.  As such
it is not possible to get CDs' of woody (as stable) until that date.

You can (if LSWA make them) get snapshots of woody as it stands now.
secure in the knowledge that woody (once relesed) will be nearly identical
to what is on the CD's today.  Once you have debian installed it would be a
simple process to upgrade to woody (as stable) when it is released.

I do not suggest doing this from potato 2.2r7, as the upgrade to woody is
big (in terms of disk space and downloads).

HTH.

Yours Tony
