Hello, I am working since 03/1999 with Debian successfuly. For some month I have lost my last Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Workstation (I have never had Win32) by a lightning-stroke and now I am M$-Free.
I am working on a very difficult Job in near east ans need the Floppy-Installation. For SLINK 2.1r5 it was no problem... 7 Base-Floppys and 73 Packages Floppys. Now I have tried it with WOODY but it does not work because dpkg-scanpackages... The Version of SLINK was supporting the X-Medium Flag and if I have registerd all Floppys apt-get was asking about the numbered Floppy. Now in WOODY it does not work anymore... OK, I can register all Floppys, but when I install somthing, it tell me to put the Floppy in... I habe 140 Floppys - Where ist the *.deb ? The Other thing I have tried is to make the whole Directory tree, a Packages- and Release-File and add the 'X-Medium: ' manualy to it. Unfortunately the 'X-Medium:' is not recognised by WOODY. Question: ========= Is there a solution like the CD-Rom Installation which ask for a numberd Medium ? or must I port dpkg-scanpackages for WOODY ? Maybe staticaly linked ??`? I was thinking to make for each Floppy a Packages- and Release-File and put all 280 Files in a Package which installs in /var/lib/apt/lists So no one must make the DJ after installing the BASE to register the other 114 Floppys...
