Are iso images really just LinuxPPC 2000 lite and the real images not up yet?

Part of the confusion may come from the fact that the README files in
the images folder are not visible if you look at it via http, i.e.
http://ftp.linuxppc.org/ftp/linuxppc-2000/images/

If you look at it via ftp, i.e.
ftp://ftp.linuxppc.org/linuxppc-2000/images/, or on the mirrors, you see
3 README files explaining the situation.

Seeing that many people downloaded the thing 3 or more times for lack of
any instruction how to handle it, the idea of putting up a "lite"
version doesn't seem to have worked out as intended. And I am still
waiting impatiently for the contents (as opposed to the images) of
LinuxPPC 2000 to show up on the ftp server (as well as the CDs in my
mailbox). I am almost starting to feel the attraction of YDL whose
newest release is there on their server, files and ISO images and
everything.
