 Why?  It hasn't had a security update in over a year, so it's guaranteed to
 be dangerous to put on a network.  What makes you think 2.2 will be more
 limited-resource friendly than Woody or Sarge?

 deb http://archive.debian.org potato main contrib non-free

But that server appears to be down.

  deb http://archive.debian.org potato main contrib non-free

is down and has been down for several days.
Debian potato 2.2r7 or whatever is not going on to a network,
just on to an old computer salvaged out of a thrift store,
and it uses quite a bit less disk space than other more current 
versions of Debian, and xfree86 will work and surf the 
internet on 32 megabytes of ram.

I am still trying to find a Debian potato 2.2 server other
than  deb http://archive.debian.org/
that I can download potato 2.2 packages from ?

debian potato 2.2 - apt sources.list

2004-08-24 Thread dale lane
Hello All,

For the last 2 days I have been trying to Install
Debian potato 2.2r? on an old computer that I have.
It only has 32 megabytes of ram and a slower processer.


Is there no place that is a valid Debian 2.2 Potato
Archive ? Somewhere where I can put the location
in my /etc/apt/sources.list ?

deb http://where-is-valid-site potato main contrib non-free
deb ftp://where-is-a-valid-site potato main contrib non-free

I know there has to be one valid site left out there,
Someone must know where it is,
Please let me know too.

Thank You
dale
