Let's start from something simple. If I got you right, you have burnt a CD image to DVD media? If that's guess is correct, try to record CD image to CD media. If I got you wrong and you have tried to boot from recorded CD-R, here is another option: are you sure that CD is properly recorded and have a quality enough to be read by your DVD-ROM device? Maybe there are some mechanical errors at the CD-R itself due to unsuccessful recording and that preventing the disc from a proper reading? Have you tried to boot from that recorded CD-R somewhere else? Locate another computer and repeat a boot stage. Don't start the install process, just try to boot into debian-installer. If you face a failure, re-record CD-R at lower speed. Try to record Debian ISO at the lowest possible speed which is supported by your burner.

Lenny Net Install
Hello, Trying to net install the Lenny using an ISO CD of: debian-500-i386-netinst.iso (153,520 KB) but then it never got into the Linux boot stage. The system is set to boot from the DVD ROM, and ran some DVD cycles (as the green lights blinking) then ran into the Window boot about a minute later. Can anyone help ? Thanks ! C. Lee

It works really well. It only downloads the packages you request from it so you get the benefit of a local mirror, without having to actually host a full mirror. It can even support multiple Arch Repos so that I only have 1 apt-cacher system that serves for i386, AMD64, and IA64 for Etch, Lenny, and Sid (for me all of those arch/repos only take up 2.8GB). It has also been stable for a really long time so there are a ton of how-to guides out there (including several links on this list). There is also apt-proxy, but for me it didn't work nearly as well as apt-cacher. Have fun! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

minimal mirror for lenny net install
Hi I'd like to run a network installation setup on my LAN. With previous versions I could just take a Debian Installer CD (e.g.: the netinst) and loopmount it to get the initial files. This provides me most of the required files. The problem is that the installer CDs no longer contain signed images. I'd like to avoid any hacks with configuring a system to use unsigned sources as at least with Etch this affected the usability later on. How do I make a compact partial Debian mirror? I don't have the extra disk space and network bandwidth[1] for a full mirror. [1] Well, I do. But it would be a waste of time and disk space and complicate the setup. I want to have a mirror that contains all the packages in my default install, so I won't need to re-download them from the Internet every time. But downloading a few gigs every once in a while to maintain the mirror is not something I want either. -- Tzafrir Cohen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il || a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] || best ICQ# 16849754 || friend -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
