Re: jigdo problems
From: Richard Atterer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jigdo works just fine - the .iso.tmp file is created at the beginning with its final size, but filled with zero bytes. Later, parts of it are overwritten with the downloaded data. You can tell that jigdo is making progress by looking at the messages Found X of the Y files required by the template that are printed from time to time. The second value Y should decrease. When it reaches zero, the download is finished. [FWIW, so many people have reported this bug that I'm going to change the behaviour of the jigdo GUI app not to fill the image with zero bytes first.] Ummm, I like the current behaviour (I am using the CLI). Maybe adding a popup informing users will be better? -- Sanjeev -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bootable Woody DVD-Images?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello all! I have a new problem with debian images - I'm building images via debian-cd (latest CVS version) and for cds anything works fine. But if I try to make DVD images, the images contain all data but aren't bootable - perhaps this is because woody normally has more than one bootable cd? Is there any solution to build bootable woody dvd images? Thank you in advance, Jan -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (MingW32) iD8DBQE/jvxsFkp/xtPKawsRAoVvAKCVSruq+1cfcQgqwWgCldx/aUnB0wCcDofO RSuhrGMSPzxMQtPzNzKo3MQ= =6bQC -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

That's OK - for some odd reason wget for Windows prints this warning, but it can safely be ignored.

The directory floated around 598Mb, varying plus and minus 5Mb for about 2 hours.

It downloads some packages and deletes them. I know it doesn't write them to the iso.tmp file because the file size doesn't change!
