mirror-sync and build_all.sh (debian-cd)
Hi All, ( sorry for double posting [I've posted also on debian-users] but I found this list only now ) In the attempt to generate a Debian image which can be booted and installed, I'm using the mirror-sync mirroring tool provided here: http://alioth.debian.org/~fjp/debmirror/mirror-sync and the build_all.sh script provided by the debian-cd package. Those are the options which I've configured in mirror-sync: SUITES=stable DISTS=lenny ARCHS=i386 SECTS=main,main/debian-installer and the result is a 17G size mirror. When running build_all, this is the result: ./easy-build.sh NETINST (...) Trying to add upgrade* directories (Optionally) making the image bootable for i386: Running tools/boot/lenny/boot-i386 1 /media/mike2/srv/mirror/tmp/lenny/CD1 cp: cannot stat `/media/mike2/srv/mirror/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-i386/current/images/cdrom/initrd.gz': No such file or directory FAILED: error 1 Failed to start disc 1, error 256 make: *** [image-trees] Error 9 All is running over Debian Lenny. Any hints ? Thanks for supporting, have a nice day. Mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-cd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: mirror-sync and build_all.sh (debian-cd)
Hi All, hi Frans, thanks for your time. I've came up with the same debmirror string which uses 'mirror-sync': debmirror --arch=i386 --dist=lenny --section=main,main/debian-installer --pdiff=use --method=http --ignore-small-errors --nosource --exclude='(e/eclipse(|-.*)/.*)' --exclude='/(boson|ice.*|kde.*|koffice|python-.*|qt-x11-free|samba|wengophone)-dbg_' --exclude='/lib(boost|gl1-mesa-dri|nel|qt4|.*webkit.*|wine|wxgtk.*|xul.*|zeroc-ice.*)-dbg_' --exclude='/libqt4-debug_' -v -h ftp.nl.debian.org /media/mike2/srv/mirror/debian note the '--section=main,main/debian-installer' but when executing it, the result is: (...) Get Packages and Sources files and other miscellany. Parse Packages and Sources files and add to the file list everything therein. Download all files that we need to get (36 MiB). Downloaded 36 MiB in 46s at 779.67 kiB/s Everything OK. Moving meta files. Cleanup mirror. All done. and the initrd.gz file is still missing. Thanks for your help, have a nice evening.

Applications for CD1
Hi! During the install of Squeeze (8/2/2010 image) I was asked to participate in a survey (by usage) to determine what applications should be on CD1. I already have a suggestion - Abiword, and/or Gnumeric. Just having this extra simple office application would make for a slightly better impression for any new Debian users (like myself). Although it's a simple matter of sudo apt-get install abiword, giving new users a sense of being able to be immediately more productive may make for a larger user base, even if Debian is considered to be for advanced users... Anyway, just my two cents! Keep up the excellent work! Jordan Clarke -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-cd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
