Until they became so large all images were hosted there. > On http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/7.0.0/amd64/iso-dvd/ there are only > 3 DVD's ISO. It is a problem of mirror site disk space and bandwidth. Mirror sites do not have infinite disk space nor infinite bandwidth. There is a cost to everything. At some point there isn't enough space nor bandwidth nor the associated actual cost of hosting them. Mirrors would stop hosting Debian if it grew without bounds. Therefore compromises must be made. The very little used images are not hosted. It is very unusual for anyone to need or to use those images. However they are available and you can create them for yourself very easily. If you desire any or all of the 10 DVD set for amd64 then they are available for very easy creation using jigdo-lite. Here is an example. # apt-get install jigdo-file $ mkdir jigdo-stuff $ cd jigdo-stuff $ jigdo-lite --noask http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/7.0.0/amd64/jigdo-dvd/debian-7.0.0-amd64-DVD-1.jigdo ...lots of output and some minutes of time...

Before spending a lot of time trying to download the third dvd image it is good to assure you that the third disk is not needed to install Debian. Unless you are operating completely offline and unconnected from the Internet then downloading all of the dvd images are not needed to install Debian. Generally only the first disk of either the CD or DVD install disks is enough to install Debian. It is generally preferable to install from the first disk and then to add other components by installing with a network available. The latest available packages will be installed over the network. The later disks are provided for completeness. It makes it possible to install a complete system in an isolated environment that does not have network access. It makes it possible to archive a complete set of software for long term risk abatement. But for most users this is not needed nor is it desirable. For most users installing from the first disk with a network available for additional components is the best installation choice.

The debian-boot list would be more appropriate. It is about the debian-installer and your question is really more about how to drive the installer. Here are some resources that will be useful to you. http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/ But let me give you a few hints here anyway. > I am trying to install debian via the cd.

I don't remember the exact wording but perhaps I can give enough hints to provide help anyway. The root filesystem is the part where you would have indicated it being "ext3" or one of the others and assigned it the the "/" location. Do you remember doing that? > I am using the second drive in my PC. It is all Linux. Here is what it > looks like: (hdb) 61.5 GB, #1 primary 59.3 GB B K lvm,#5 logical 2.2 GB > F swap swap. It is a little hard to read what you wrote since those lines are smashed together but neither of those are the root partition. The first is a partition that is indicated to be used for LVM. When this is seen by the installer it will add a new option to the top list which is to configure the lvm manager. After assigning a partition for use with LVM then you must then configure lvm to create logical volumes and then use one of those logical volumes for the root partition. But as you show things now you do not yet have a partition assigned to the root filesystem. The second partition that you show is a swap partition. > So, I am in this loop. Where is this root file? Is it on the CD? I am new > to this, so I am a little confused. Everything up to this step has gone OK. > Been reading the help files, but being as I am new to this, more confusion > than help. If you want to continue with lvm then configure the lvm manager and create a volume group and then create a logical volume on that volume group. Then assign it to the root partition. If you have never used lvm before it can be somewhat confusing. I use lvm routinely because it allows me to resize partitions and in general think it is a good thing to use. But if you are not familiar with lvm them it might be better to try the installation without it. That would make things a little bit simpler. In which case you could delete the lvm partition and use that space for a regular ext3 filesystem and then assign that filesystem to "/". This is where the "guided" partitioning is very helpful. You could simply allow the installer to automatically partition the disk for you. Putting everything into one filesystem may be the easiest way to get going.

A common problem is that people confuse ia64 and amd64 with each other. I believe you have done so here because your symptoms match this frequently seen problem. The amd64 hardware exists widely but ia64 is much less common. Please verify the architecture of your machine. It is very likely that you are trying to install an ia64 image onto an amd64 architecture machine. In that case the solution is to use the amd64 installation image instead.

I think what you are saying by this (even if not intended) is that packaged versions of debian-cd should not be used and the svn version is the only supported version. If that is true then the package should be removed from stable. On the other hand if the package is useful and supported then bugs should be accepted against the stable version of the package. This is a fundamental discussion that has been talked about on various Debian lists for a very long time. Is the BTS for stable or unstable? Is stable supported or is only unstable supported? *I don't want to solve it here!* I am just pointing out that this basic paradigm schism seems to be at the core of this topic point.

Mail sent to mailing lists are replicated thousands of times to all of the subscribers of the mailing list. Many of the subscribers are automated robots that archive the messages into archives most of which are available on the Internet. Therefore even if that particular archive on lists.debian.org were to delete the message that message would still appear on other archives and in other people's personal mailboxes and other places. In order to put this genie back into the bottle you would need to hunt down probably a thousand locations and remove that message. It is simply not possible. Now before you say, "But Google only shows this one location.", let me say that I am sure this is temporary and other sites will eventually be threaded. Also viruses on MS machines with your message in personal mailboxes will respond to and forge from that address and so eventually it will show up in other strange places too at a "joe-job". It will remain in the google cache for a while and also there are "wayback" machines that will archive it and so on. In any case the place to appeal to in order to handle messages to mailing lists the "-owner" address, in this case the debian-cd owner is the [EMAIL PROTECTED] address. That is the list owner address. No one on the debian-cd mailing list is an administrator. We are all users here. So that would be the place to ask your question. I don't know what their policy is on those types of requests. You might get lucky. Just so that I can be more depressing for you today (sorry) let me add that hiding an email address only lasts for so long. Almost certainly some loved one will think they are doing something nice and send you a greeting card from a greeting card site and then at that time your mail address would escape once again into the spammers hands. Friends and relatives almost never understand how things work well enough to protect your email address to the extent you would need to keep it hidden long term and all it takes is one mistake by any of them and it is once again out in the wild. But in any case it would already be too late to hide. If you are already getting spam then that address is already in the hands of spammers and will always receive spam in the future. I am still getting spam to addresses that I have turned into a honeypot because they are a decade obsolete addresses but still they get spam. It is better to install spam handling tools such as SpamAssassin and fight the problem head on. Good luck! Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Currently that means burning a number of CD's for each of them. An update would allow only a single CD to incrementally update them. The possibility of an update CD been discussed briefly on this list just recently. I think it will eventually happen. But from browsing the list archives I could not see that anyone had committed to making update CD images available. But let me second you that I also think they would be very useful and I would like them as well. But so far "official" images of 3.0r1, let alone updates, have not been available yet. I think most of us have been trying to wait patiently for official images to appear and are not making any noise until that happens. I have seen several "unofficial" images, however. All of the Debian web pages still document that 3.0r0 is the currently official release bits. Anxious for the "official" images, even though I personally update across the network regularly.

By selecting 'bootable' before you were actually telling Roxio to change the bits, which corrupted them. Don't do that and you should be okay. In Roxio go to file, then the pull down menu to "write from image" or some such. I can't remember the exact wording and don't have a working MS machine to check. But you just want to burn an ISO image to CD. The default file type in Roxio will be some format that Roxio likes but no one uses. Change the file type to '*.iso' and then select it to use the iso image you just downloaded. Tell it to start writing. My frail memory recalls these steps as the correct proceedure.

Re: Do you guys ever proof read?
Karl M. Hegbloom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [2002-07-31 20:04:30 -0700]: > Do you guys ever proof read? Does that mean you are volunteering to do so for the next release? Many hands make light work. It is a cooperative effort after all. I think a BTS report has already been filed for your particular issue and it should get fixed or 3.0r1. Meanwhile, if that is the worst that someone finds to complain about I think the CD team did a great job.

Re: CD-Cover f?r Debian (woody - r3.0 r0)
Flex wrote: > Hier habe ich noch ein CD Cover f?r Debian / WOODY > http://www.heinschink.at/accounts/ntwfx/various/Linux/cdcovers/ I found that cover very well done. Thanks for posting it. Since the .zip (of the .png) files is the same size as the .png I suggest that you drop the .zip versions. They don't save you any space at all and are just likely to confuse someone downloading them. Also, I thought your page here, http://www.heinschink.at/accounts/ntwfx/index/indexh.htm was a nicer introduction to the work than the raw directory. In fact if you were to change the 'download' link, offer 'download png 1.4MB' plus offer 'download jpg 125kb' then users could easily choose and that would be a really nice offering.
