greetings. i went to http://cdimage.debian.org/potato_pre.html and followed the directions. i got a .list file from phil hand's site, and did a download via the pseudo-image kit: $ ./make-pseudo-image potato-i386-1.list ftp://ftp.twoguys.org/debian/ it worked, but some of the files weren't there, particularly non-US. so, i went to nonus.debian.org and did it again, to get the non-US files. some of the update/* files were still missing. i went ahead and tried, on the premise that i had more than enough for rsync to be happy...however, the rsync command doesn't DO anything: $ mv pseudo-image potato-i386-1.raw $ ls -l potato-i386-1.raw -rw-rw-r-- 1 ivey ivey 653105152 Jun 19 20:56 potato-i386-1.raw $ rsync --verbose --progress --stats --block-size=8192 \ cdimage.debian.org::potato_test-cycle-2_nonUS/potato-i386-1.raw <SNIP WELCOME MESSAGE> -rw-r--r-- 674695168 2000/06/11 13:28:42 potato-i386-1.raw Number of files: 1 Number of files transferred: 0 Total file size: 674695168 bytes Total transferred file size: 0 bytes Literal data: 0 bytes Matched data: 0 bytes File list size: 36 Total bytes written: 125 Total bytes read: 441 wrote 125 bytes read 441 bytes 53.90 bytes/sec total size is 674695168 speedup is 1192040.93 $ ls -l potato-i386-1.raw -rw-rw-r-- 1 ivey ivey 653105152 Jun 19 20:56 potato-i386-1.raw any idea what i'm doing wrong? please CC: me on replies, i haven't joined the list. -- michael d. ivey [McQ] : "Never express yourself more clearly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : than you think." http://gweezlebur.com/~ivey/ : -- Niels Bohr -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
