Re: Woody non-US CDs

It's safest to treat it as copyright is freely licensed, but restricted for miscellaneous other reasons and be quite conservative about what you do with it. We'll still need non-US for those things that are patented in the USA, and presumably also for a growing band of programs that are deemed to infringe on the DMCA and other bizarre American laws. Hm, I'm confused - I thought that either these programs cannot be packaged at all, or they end up in (non-US/)non-free. Not consistently, no. The c-i-m bug http://bugs.debian.org/81852 eg, expects patented stuff to go in non-US/main. AJ, could you please clarify: Do we need two versions of the first CD? We need a main-only CD. I'm not really sure there's a huge need for a non-US/main CD. (Or, at least, whether there will be once mozilla and postgresql and a hanful of others propogate to woody/main, which will be over the next couple of days) Cheers, aj -- Anthony Towns [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://azure.humbug.org.au/~aj/ I don't speak for anyone save myself.

Download it at: http://cdimage.debian.org/~costar/jigdo/ (actually, any OS with C compiler) - well, not all C compilers think that -Wall is a correct switch, but that is easily fixed. Is there a good way to set CFLAGS only if it isn't set? Since the official woody images will be available primarily (at least the first days/weeks) in jigdo format, we should make sure that the download tools are working properly. I'm quite confident that jigdo-easy/jigdo-port will do a fine job, but I'd still appreciate it if people (yes, that means you) could give it a try on as many systems as possible (which includes all available variants of M$Win). Please report your experiences to the debian-cd list, or to me privately. Well, it kind of works with jigdo-mirror, it makes alot of progress (on some .jigdo files from the pre-release set mentioned earlier). Then I get: --- Checking file `/export/ftp/mirror/debian-non-US/pool/non-US/main/z/zope-popyda/zope-popyda_2.0.7-1_all.deb'... Pasting...

Which doesn't really tell me why it failed, but I guess something went wrong. This might very well be the fault of jigdo-mirror though, I'll probably have some time to look at it later this week unless someone else figures out why. Just jigdo-easy on a 2.2rev6 image worked fine though. /Mattias Wadenstein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Documenting the MULTIBOOT option
[Raphael Hertzog] I won't apply this patch since the eltorito multiboot solution is certainly going to be dropped... the menu it offers is not very useful compared to isolinux multiboot. I believe it is better to have bad options documented as such, instead of leaving it to the users to find, test and discover the features of undocumented options. (I know isolinux is supposed to be a better option, but until the MULTIBOOT option is removed I believe it is good to include the documentation.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I'm excited to try it, I've never even seen the ISO boot in action. Can you update the installation manual if it hasn't already been done ? I can - since I don't have an i386 or a burner, where can I find out what the user will see with the multiboot CD, and what choices will be available? The other four flavors are all available on multiboot? Anything else? Also it would be fine if we could give some guidance about how to make that choice - type of system, connected hardware, age? I guess the differences are already covered for vanilla/compact/idepci, but how about bf2.4?
