Anyone know how to remaster the CD with previous images?

Loop-mount the CD image, and 'cp -a' that to a fresh directory (say,
'new').

Drop the old ubuntu-artwork .deb into pool/main/u/ubuntu-artwork/, and
remove the new one.

Edit the ubuntu-artwork paragraph in
dists/warty/main/binary-i386/Packages to fix up the Version:, Filename:,
MD5sum:, and Size: lines.

Update dists/warty/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz to match.

Update md5sums and sizes of those two files in dists/warty/Release.

Run this (replacing 'new' with wherever you copied the loop-mounted
image to):

  mkisofs -r -V 'Ubuntu 4.10 i386 Bin-1' \
          -o warty-install-i386-remastered.iso -cache-inodes -J -l \
          -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot \
          -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table new

Make sure to do a test installation to verify that you got all the above
steps right; it's easy to miss something even if you've done it before.

Cheers,
