Anyone who wants the official 6 CD set of woody 3.0 Can send me an address privately. First one I get in my inbox with snailmail address will get the cds mailed to them.
I've burned up 2 full days, gotten no help whatever from the list. Found the install routines to be unusable. All I hear from Woody is `can't won't or doesn't' And this on a machine that has had 2 flavors of linux, 2 of the BSDs and Solaris (intel) install successfully. Hardware recognized etc. My nic is not found, X doesn't run, I get a message after the install that there were errors during install. Please fix the errors mentioned above... none are mentioned. I've tried the simplicity of Tasksel and the labor instensive dselect hell, 3 fullbore tries at installing. I have a non-functional system at the end of 2 days. When I see things so basic like the names referred to when the different cds are requested during package install. The names the routine asks for are nowhere on my CDs. Not that hard to see what is really meant but only because I'm already familiar with some of the lingo. Maybe I got hoodwinked getting them from `The sphere' When I see things like that gauranteed to cause confusion, I know that at the Debian organization someone is asleep at the switch. And can rest assured that I will be in for lots of unnecessary grief caused by `loose' organization and homeboy packaging. One has to think, what else is poorly done here. But then again for someone who enjoys major unnecessary tinkering. Relentless `fixes' and the like, Here is a chance to get a setup that will keep you busy for a long time, and absolutely free. I'll pay the postage too. Maybe I should have tried the released version, but something about the name `potato' puts one in mind of a large overweight weak vegetable lying on a couch. At least `woody' sounded...... well .... erect :-)
