Re: testing CD that boots
hi I would like to make a CD of testing that boots, and to use it to install a PC; and I would like to use (and test) the latest boot method I have already installed debian-cd and used it many times in the past (I once made some bootable CD of potato) I have downloaded http://people.debian.org/~aph/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/3.0.17-2001-11-13/ but I dont see , nor the base disks, neither the base.tgz do I need them ? if yes, where do I find them? also: do I need to put in the CD all the above URL? or, can I skip some subdirectories? btw: I think that we should put the answer to above question in some documentation file... a.

Depends on what you want to use the cd for... If you just want one architecture for one PC, just get that architecture's stuff... btw: I think that we should put the answer to above question in some documentation file... Did I mention the installation manual? But for debian-cd usage, that would be a subject for their list... -- ** | .''`. | Debian GNU/Linux: http://www.debian.org | | : :' : | debian-imac: http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net | | `. `'` | Chris Tillman[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | `-|May the Source be with you| ** -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
