12 These CD's are just basically refinements to the install process, nothing
13 more. If you use -r11 you are not necessarily getting a newer system than
14 if you used the -r10 iso. Both ISOs contain the -r7 build image. However,
15 sometimes I *will* update bootstrap.sh and the bootstrap files, which does
16 result in a newer system for some people. For example, you probably have
17 baselayout 1.6.1, but anyone who installs today will get baselayout 1.6.2
18 which contains slightly improved system initialization scripts.

25 No; it should be the same as rc5, except that the kernel is at /isolinux/kernel
26 and the initrd is at /isolinux/rescue.gz.
