As Guy says, 
 
 Wait a few days before downloading. 
 
 Things are not yet (IMHO) completely fixed _everywhere_ or at best 
 slightly confusing. To make it clear, and as Guy announced, the new boot 
 set is: 
 
 >Changes from Debian-1.1.1 are:
 >  base-1.1.0-14
 >  boot-floppies-1.1.1-10
 >  boot disks 1996-07-14

 >  xosview 1.3.2-4.11996-07-:
 
 Please, in case you're in doubt, remember: The 1.1.2 is under the name 
 1996-07-14 and not 1996_7_14 (this last is the one that since 2 weeks ago 
 under buzz-updates/ without being stable/ or friends being properly linked 
 to it).
 
 The files corresponding to the announced 1.1.2 release are time-stamped 
 on Friday or Saturday 27 (opppps! and even today...I am looking at them 
 right now... As I thought somebody was fixing things not so long ago now)
 
 here is what I see _now_

 Before you rush, check if your kernel on the installation boot disk (is a 
 DOS FAT remember? has the around Jul 14 date. 
 
 If so. Wait a few days a  download  the new ones. I heard and noticed that 
 2.0.0 had some buggy kbd but maybe some other important things were broken 
 in it (refer to Changelog and _ask_!) 
  
 As far as I am concerned, I will wait a few days before upgrading 
 _anyway_. Thanks for the job folk of Debian.
 
 A suggestion (or a wish): it would be nice if _all_ the Debian releases, 
 were announced through the debian-announce and comp.os.linux.announce
 
 Happy hacking!
 Lazaro
 
 P.S. If you insist I can prepare a longer posting with more details but 
 don't panic. Just wait until the mantainers work it out, and I am sure 
 they have done a lot of the fixing as far as the tree structure is 
 concerned. Notice that the opening message when pointing your browser to 
 ftp.debian.org/debian has been modified last friday. As I write this PS 
 ls-lr.gz is not accessible. It's yesterdays version (with the fixes done 
 today not reflected in it) so by the time you read this you can maybe 
 see the new one and just forget all my commments... I hope.

This is what I found from the debian-announce mailing list

You are missing important things: Why is procps-1.01a not included?
Try a "ps alx" with debian and you will see.
