As I mentioned previously...im a convert to debian linux. My next step is to start using it at home. I am no where at work...and looking for some info.... gettin gdebian isn't a problem here... we have T-1's and T-3s up the ass. In fact I installed on my 486 via FTP in a coupla hours. anyway...I found out I have a CD burner at my disposal...all I have to do is get a Writeable CD and burn away. I am thinkin gof burning myself a CD or two (or 3 or 4...) I definitly want one (or if its 2 CDs full) enough of the debian dist to
install th elatest version and alot of packages (tho as many source packages as possible and all) here is the problem: The burner is using "Easy CD Pro" software. If you think that doesn't sound like linux software...your right. If you think it sounds like a Windblows95 program..right again. anyway...I was advised to use 8.3 filename format cuz "Windows95 doesn't like iso9660 rock ridge extensions" does anyone know of this software? is there any way I can make a useable CD to install directly from? I would like to not sacrafice long filenames for 8.3 but if I HAVE too I will. will that break anything? is there a way around it? (obviously ill be grabbing the distribution off of FTP..all th elatest stable stuff) any suggestions or comments before I start woul dbe apreciated (hopefully I can get it burned by the end of today...or sometime next week) (I also have a few other CDs id like to burn...and make up some personal CD archives....but im holding off on those..like a CD containing ever version of the kernel as far back as I can get it to as recent as I can get it...with patches..including development kernels....I think it woul dmake a nice one to keep..if for nothing else just to have a CD of them) -Steve -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
