That's it, and I am glad there is an explanation and a solution. Thanks!

I think I know what happened. We did not clean up the old web page at

https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Training-guides/lab-scripts

It still points to the old repo. We need to fix this ASAP.

The new repo is at:
http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/training-labs/

It can be cloned with:
git clone git://git.openstack.org/openstack/training-labs.git

My apologies to Bernd and anyone else affected by this oversight.

For what it's worth, I have a patch somewhere that automatically gets the
latest ISO if the one we are looking for has been removed again.
Maybe I should dust if off and submit it.

Roger

There is no practical obstacle whatsoever now to the creation of an
efficient index to all human knowledge, ideas and achievements, to the
creation, that is, of a complete planetary memory for all mankind.
