On the official site, the images under the versioned directories are
named things like:

  2.1_r4/i386/binary-i386-1.iso

which is actually a hard link to:

  slink_test/i386/slink1-i386.raw

so most people end up seeing images named *.iso anyway.

Speaking of which, I think I'll destroy the slink CD images now, and
create a potato_test hierarchy, with the TC3 images in it so that the
mirrors can sync up before the official CD run --- any objections?
