Re: [Trisquel-users] Getting an old version of trisquel for archiving purposes

[victordesfe]

I agree, that's why i haven't stored/archived any netinst version of any  
distro because they are incomplete and in some cases even won't work, but as  
for regular iso versions, they still work without internet connection. In  
this context, the only thing you'd need is compatible hardware (BIOS non  
UEFI) or a compatible virtualization enviroment.

As for additional software, it's true that you don't have access to the  
original repos anymore so the only option would be to re-compile them from  
old sourcecode versions, which is indeed a pain but we are dealing with an  
historic OS so nobody is intended to do that, unless they really want. My  
actual project is to collect the operating systems itself, but i'm also  
working and i'm planning to work on a programs/software collection. I already  
have a good archive on windows apps but i should look in the future to do  
some linux ones too so we could run some extra software on old distros.
