Progress is very slow, if at all.
For reasons that elude me I have been unable to dump the install image
to a secondary scsi disk with dd. Every time I try I get told some bad
things :

Hello!
I have created the first set of installation images in 2022, these are
available at the usual location in [1].
The ISO image for sparc64 has been verified to work correctly, I don't

I have also created the first images which include non-free

This would be comparable to Debian etch or lenny.
I remember having had a very stable experience with etch on my Ultra 10

These images contain an updated apt-setup package which fixes the APT problem
that occurred during installation with the 2021-09-21 images.

@Iggi:
You have several options which all require a lot of work.
Do as Adrian tells and manually collect needed packages from
snapshot.debian.org
This way you can get for example an old firefox (50) and an old version of
Libreoffice installed and working.
Unfortunately not all software in the

I just built a fresh set of Debian Ports installation images which are

The images have not been tested as I currently cannot start my testvm

up to the users.
