Fixed size image creation
Hi, Im using debian-cd for a custom debian distribution Im working on. Debian-cd allow you to create CD and DVD image with fixed size. The point if I well understand, is that after putting my peronnal packages on the iso, debian-cd fill the rest of the disponible space with packages taken by priority from popcon. Im wondering if someone could give me some idea how I could disable the fact of adding unnecessary software at the end of the iso generation. What I want is to generate an iso image which contain only the packages in the custom task I have added to tasksel. thanks.

And now things have broken again for the image including firmware. :-( Another option is to increase the size of the ISO a little, but we're already very close to the limit of what will fit on a 650 MB CD. I've suggested raising the CD size from 650 to 700 MB in the past and people didn't like it, but that was quite a while ago. I can't find any 650MB CD-R blanks available anywhere these days... -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.st...@einval.com "We're the technical experts.

It will only fill from popcon order if you've asked it to, by "#include " or by adding COMPLETE=1. What's in your task file?

I have written a new CONF.sh and a new frontend to build.sh and have forgotten to set the option COMPLETE=.. so I suppose that by default it is set to 1. Now it works. Thanks.

To download Debian ISOs
Hi all, Could anyone tell me where I can find the Debian DVD ISo images available for download via HTTP? Currently I downloaded the DVD-1 from the below link: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.5/ia64/iso-dvd/ I think this link is supposed to have all the 5 DVD ISOs, but has only one.

Do you really have an Intel Itanium (ia64) computer? That one is very rare. Most people wanting to install 64-bit Linux need the amd64 version, which also supports most current Intel 64-bit systems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itanium for the differences. Try this link for the x86-64 processor: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.5/amd64/iso-dvd/ Due to resource limitations only the most commonly needed Debian CDs and DVDs are available for direct download.
