I find debian-cd complicate and I cannot find the reason why it should be. All I want is to go to my usual mirror site and get woody distribution files and write them to a cd so that I can go home and update my computer to woody. 'potato' is just plain old - released in 2000, etc. I have a scanner that needs plustek driver which has been available since long time ago but 'potato' uses an old version that does not include this driver(sane program). So I have to upgrade to 'woody' or compile the program myself (which is what I had to do with lots of stable releases such as jpilot)
The best alternative would be if I was able to get the woody files and burn a cd and go home and install on my home machine. Trying to use debian-cd was wasting my time. I could not understand the cryptic error messages (if they were error messages at all :) ). All I want is a program that will take the address of the mirror site, the dist I want, and say get woody for me. Have the program get it. Simple. So are there any alternatives to debian-cd? /------------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Daniel J.
