Re: too many CD ISOs
Hi! * Joey Hess [EMAIL PROTECTED] [070418 07:02]: IMHO we need to do something to get vendors to default to selling the CDs that are useful, and de-emphasise the great big vanity packs that are just a waste of plastic for most users. Maybe we need a debian-vendor-announce list similar to -mirror-announce and ask vendors to subscribe there? So it would be easier for you to reach the vendors, and ask them which images they might want to sell, and which not ;) Yours sincerely, Alexander -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: ping on CD
Hi! * Frans Pop [EMAIL PROTECTED] [070321 23:19]: So I would like to support the OP's request: Would it be possible to add ping despite the fact that it is not essential? Adding it to busybox would probably only add a couple kB to the installer's size. This has been discussed about 20 times already. Unless you can give any _real_ arguments why ping is essential, I very much doubt this will change. Would it be possible to ship a small ping-like shellscrip, which tries to parse wgets output and give proper feedback to the user?

Re: How to -- debian distribution CD...
Hi! * TIFR students [EMAIL PROTECTED] [050103 10:01]: I guess we can get the additional packages we want from the net,after installing this minimal ISO.But the problem is,how then,do we convert the whole thing into an ISO that we want. Take a look at debian-cd [1]. That is a tool to create Debian CDs; you can include your own package selection and own packages, if you want.

Re: Jigdo files for 1.4 GB (8cm) DVDs?
* W. Borgert [EMAIL PROTECTED] [050103 17:10]: can Debian provide for jigdo files for 1.4 GB (8cm) DVDs? That would be a nice competitive differentiation, as no other distro - AFAIK - is available in that handy format. Does this serve any other purpose than they don't have it? Playing disc jockey with ~8 small DVDs, if 2 would be sufficient doesn't sound very usefull for me. Are there any DVD drives, which can only use 8cm discs? Didn't know of any. Nor did I saw 8cm blank DVDs. Yours sincerely, Alexander signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Re: Passworded zip for XFS installer?
Hi there! * Greg Webster [EMAIL PROTECTED] [041126 01:26]: http://people.debian.org/~blade/XFS-Install/download/ ...in which the XFS installers are password protected zip files, with no mention of what the password is. http://people.debian.org/~blade/ explains why the iso are password protected, and what the password is.

Re: Do i have a bad iso image?
Moin! * Wayne Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] [040817 15:40]: I use jigdo-easy to download the iso image from the debian site and I use suse 8.2 release with kde to burn my cd. [..] The file name in the diertory cdrom is - debian-30rev2-i386-binary-1_NONUS.iso. You have a good download. jigdo does checks the md5sum and will give you an error message, if something went wrong. But: You burned it wrong. You need too look for something »burn iso-image« or »burn image-file«. The .iso is a file, which should be burned 1:1 on the disc. Sorry, I can't give you further advise, since I don't use KDE and don't know how to burn an iso image there, but you might be interessted to read http://www.nl.debian.org/CD/faq/#record-unix Yours sincerely, Alexander signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Re: Debian cd cover artwork
[ cc: debian-www, soory for the tofu ] IIRC there is somewhere a webpage, where such stuff is linked. I definitly think, your artwork should be linked there. Yours sincerely, Alexander * Jonny Blair Design [EMAIL PROTECTED] [040504 18:24]: Hi Folks, I've just put together some artwork that you may be interested in using for Debian Woody cds, available at: http://www.jonnyblair.co.uk/debian/ Because I haven't quite got the hang of GIMP, I've so far been unable to create a single template file that allows you to edit copy to your specific needs. I plan to address this soon. In the meantime, the files available at the above url are appropriate for the I386 Binary set of discs only. Hope you find these of some use, Regards, Jonny. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
