Pointers to any existing resources on this subject appreciated. I'd be interested in hearing how you go, because last time I tried to do some udeb testing to test a patch before I submitted it, I got into a horrible, horrible mess and gave up. I'd like to try again. regards Andrew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Personally I use the 'monolithic' build target type, which lets you build all necessary udebs into the CD-ROM image. If you have CD-RWs, this works out well. Does that help? Actually, that is sort of the situation I want to avoid: re-burning a CD-RW each time I want to test a change. I would rather be able to modify a network repository of udebs, if that is possible, and have the existing media grab my new udeb. -- - mdz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Pointers to any existing resources on this subject appreciated. My solutions was to build my own little mirror on the network and burn it to cd for testing. The scripts, such as they are, are at http://marenka.net/~stephen/di/bin/. Basically, debmirror will build a d-i mirror. You need a few .disk files and md5sums if you want a cd. You need to update the release file after you add in your stuff. hth, Stephen -- Stephen R. Marenka If life's not fun, you're not doing it right!
