Debian Sarge/testing cdimages
hello, about the unofficial CD images from Sarge/testing on ftp://ftp.fsn.hu/pub/CDROM-Images/debian-unofficial/ they are bootable, but the installation is not correct. CD1 contains an old or other installation than the latest 02012004 (??) and CD2 is bootable with the 02012004 installation, however it is not working, while the direct from the internet-installation of 02012004 is working. I think the problem is the Packages(.gz) file in dists/sarge/main/debian-installer/binary-i386 of something with the modules (?) How could I fix this myself and/or could it be fixed in the next version of the cdimages ? Alfred p.s.

Um - you read the FAQ? ;-)
What are these Woody files, what do they have to do with the Debian program?
Each major Debian release has a codename. Furthermore, there are three
releases which you'll see mentioned on the web pages: stable (codename
woody), testing (aka sarge) and unstable (aka sid).
I downloaded the Jigdo lite program and ran it. At the prompt I typed in
the following (as per the example when you run the Jigdo Lite):
http://server/cd-{1_nonus,2,3}.jigdo and http://debian.org/cd/jigdo-cd/
Ah well, that's just an example. To download the first Debian CD, you need
to enter the following:
http://us.cdimage.debian.org/jigdo-area/3.0_r2/jigdo/i386/woody-i386-1.jigdo
You can find this URL by going to http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/,
clicking on USA mirror in the Official images section and then going to
i386. i386 is our abbreviation of Intel/AMD compatible computer. Each
.jigdo file corresponds to one CD image.
Is this method just too advanced for people new to Linux?
That's a difficult question, especially for me as the author of
jigdo-lite...
I suspect that Debian in general may not be for you - while we're busy
working on making everything more user-friendly, other distros generally
feature smoother installation etc. If you just want to see what Linux
looks like, without any installation etc at all, I recommend you take a
look at Knoppix, which is based on Debian - see
http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html

Richard

asking for mirrors of the official testing cd images
Hi! Some people have been asking here if we could set up rsync in gluck so that mirrors of the official cd images could be set up, I have asked for this to debian-admin but there has been no answer till now. So, as I believe that the mirrors would be a good thing, I was wondering who would be insterested in mirroring and if we could setup some kind of push mirror from gluck to these mirrors, so that I could do an rsync upload, when the image creation ends, to the mirrors, or something like that (sugestions are welcome). Hope we can find some solution for this problem, comments and suggestions are welcome.

Mirror updates
From the push-trigger jigdo+iso mirror update project, here are the push-triggered mirrors that should be on the mirror list: Primary: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/ Push-triggered ones: http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian-cd/ http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian-cd/ http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-cd/ http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian-cd/ http://ftp.eu.uu.net/debian-cd/ http://ftp.leo.org/debian-cd/ http://debian.lcs.mit.edu/pub/debian-cd/ http://debian.essentkabel.com/debian-cd/ http://debian.oregonstate.edu/debian-cdimage/ http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/debian-CD/ These all have plenty of bandwidth (even if they might be occasionally slow due to load of course), and even if most of them are in Europe (especially .NL), there are a couple in north america and should be plenty of bandwidth available for users in total. /Mattias Wadenstein

Scripts, keys, etc: http://www.acc.umu.se/~maswan/debian-push/cdimage/ [*] It is a multiple-stage jigdo mirror thingie, all wrapped up in a script. Then contact me for an ssh trigger setup, test and addition to the cd-runmirrors script on farbror.acc.umu.se aka cdimage.debian.org. [*]: For existing users, there are some small updates. Mostly cosmetic though (an empty MD5SUMS-UPDATE/ etc directory turns up in images/current/ during the jigdo-mirror run, it is then removed). /Mattias Wadenstein
