 Hey Debian Team, 
  
 I see you removed all the Trixie live installs (except torrent), and not a 
 moment too soon.  A couple of weeks ago, I downloaded the LXQt and Cinnamon 
 ones, and wasted hours trying to figure out why those installs created no 
 repositories.  Of course, it was because you forgot the question about a 
 mirror.  You also forgot the popularity contest question. 
  
 I only finally figured it out when I saw Derek Taylor's (DistroTube) 
 video.  He was using the netinstall, so I tried that and it 
 worked, especially after he ran into the same problem as I did, when he 
 forgot to designate a mirror..  Well, I think instead of just pulling the 
 live installs from the Debian website, you should also APOLOGIZE on that 
 page to the many users who wasted countless hours trying to install from 
 one of the live installs.  You owe the Debian community that much.
