Maybe you find something useful under https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/older-contrib where i see https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/older-contrib/1.3/MD5SUMS https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/older-contrib/2.0/MD5SUMS https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/older-contrib/2.2/MD5SUMS https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/older-contrib/2.1/MD5SUMS It is unclear how much they are verified independently of their contributors. The oldest one debian-1.3.1-binary-i386.iso is bootable by an El Torito floppy emulation image named /boot/resc1440.bin ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Volume Id : Debian 1.3.1 Binary Volume Set Id: Debian GNU/Linux 1.3.1 . A distribution of a free-software Linux system. For information, please see http://www.debian.org/ .

Creation Time: 1997070521123100 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- It would be interesting to learn more about the early release formats of Debian. Were there floppy sets ? Were there always ISOs for download ? (The SuSE 1.0 CD hat no El Torito equipment for booting. The initial stage was done by a floppy disc. This CD image was unearthed last year by german Linux Magazin. Originally created in march 1994. I dimly remember that a workmate installed DLD Linux from a pile of floppies ... probably in 1993.) Have a nice day :) Thomas
