You should become familiar with the woody install documentation:
http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-powerpc/current/doc/install.en.html";>
Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 For PowerPC

There is no longer any base.tgz, instead you install from the network
or from a local (full) archive.

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...

Did I mention the installation manual? But for debian-cd usage, that
would be a subject for their list...

Re: testing CD that boots

[A Mennucc1]

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.

Install the debian-cd package or check out debian-cd from CVS.

testing CD that boots

[A Mennucc1]

hi

I have a local testing repository and I periodically
make CDs out of it, using debian-cd

I would like to make a CD that boots, and to use it to install
a PC; and to use (and test) the latest boot method

what should I do?
(please CC to me)

thanks

a.
