I was trying to use the pseudo-image kit for Windows (pseudo-image-kit-2.0.zip) to generate CD images of Debian 2.2 (Potato) test cycle 3. (I am not yet a Debian user. but decided to try to get started this way.) I read the instructions in the pseudo-image kit and executed the following exact command, in a DOS box running under Windows 98, in the same directory that contains the unpacked pseudo-image-kit files:
make-pseudo-image potato-i386-1.list ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian It seemed to work for a while, and created a temporary directory and a bunch of temporary files (which I kept in case they contain any clues to the problem), but then a Windows error dialog box popped up, and said the following: SH caused an invalid page fault in module KERNEL32.DLL at 0187:bff7a382. Registers: EAX=00000000 CS=0187 EIP=bff7a382 EFLGS=00010206 EBX=00520b84 SS=018f ESP=0254f138 EBP=0254f15c ECX=00420cf4 DS=018f ESI=00000104 FS=36a7 EDX=00420cf4 ES=018f EDI=00000374 GS=0000 Bytes at CS:EIP: 89 50 04 8d 04 33 50 ff 75 08 e8 70 fd ff ff eb Stack dump: 00000374 00000000 0042000c 00420000 00520b84 00000000 00000000 00000520 00000521 0254f184 bff7a541 00420000 00520b84 00000104 00000000 bfee0000 Then the "make-pseudo-image" script started cycling between the "bash" and "sleep" commands, apparently in an infinite loop, so I closed the DOS box. Can anyone help? TIA! (If the problem can't be solved, of course the alternatives are to download the entire CD image file via FTP or HTTP from a site like http://aurolinux.mit.edu, or just wait until the official release when the CDs can be ordered from a vendor.)
