RE: Custom cd's
Hello, I tried one of those, had to do some hack for bf2.4. This I what I'm trying to do. I have a dump/restore image file or about 40 megs (cd #2) I boot with cd #1 w/ bf 2.4 and base only (but I need the dump/restore package on cd #1) and restore from cd #2 to the newly created filesystem.

That's right - jigdo-lite invokes jigdo-file as jigdo-file make-image -j x.jigdo downloaded_files. After the last prompt, jigdo-lite should start downloading files with wget. If it doesn't, possible reasons are that you made a mistake during the mirror selection, or that wget is not set up (e.g. if you must use a HTTP proxy, but haven't set the http_proxy variable). If you continue to have problems, send the last few screens of jigdo-lite's output.

Debian CD Jigdo files at ftp.fsn.hu
Hi, the Debian unofficial jigdo files that should be at: ftp://ftp.fsn.hu/pub/CDROM-Images/debian-unofficial/woody/jigdo/ ftp://ftp.fsn.hu/pub/CDROM-Images/debian-unofficial/sid/jigdo/ seem to be missing/badly broken. Just thought I'd mention in case nobody had noticed. Thanks, Jon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I just created that symlink. On the other hand, since it is a symlink rsync doesn't seem to be happy taking just that directory as an arguemnt (files in it is fine) without -L. For end users this shouldn't be an issue though, only for those mirroring from us. Both are there, you decide which one you want in the mirror listing. /Mattias Wadenstein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
