Re: Jigdo files for 1.4 GB (8cm) DVDs?
Steve McIntyre [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: True. Basically, we can provide installation images for whatever media sizes people want to use, but the more we make the longer it will take and the more confusion it will cause for inexperienced people looking to download the official images. 8cm DVDs are not very common, but as I wrote, it's a very handy format. E.g. it fits into shirt pockets :-) I don't think, that people become confused, if there is an 8cm subdirectory with some jigdo files. Maybe it would be OK to provide for one 8cm DVD (contents of the first two CDs, about 1200 packages). This would make a nice little thing as promotional gift at booths etc. Cheers, WB -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Jigdo files for 1.4 GB (8cm) DVDs?
Hi, 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. Cheers, WB -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: How to create an auxiliary CD for use with apt?
Quoting Steve McIntyre [EMAIL PROTECTED]: To make a simple CD that will work with apt: * Create a directory tree containing your packages, starting at /pool * Create packages files (using apt-ftparchive or dpkg-scanpackages and dpkg-scansources) OK, these points were clear, as I already have a local apt repository - just not yet on CD :-) * Create a directory /.disk and a file /.disk/info containing a label to describe your CD Cool, that sounds pretty easy! So there's no need for the files base_components, base_installable, and udeb_include, good. Cheers, WB -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
