Have you looked at 

 http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/

They seem to have every Debian CD/DVD since early Woody.

We have a large set of older images online at

  http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/

for both live and install media.

Thank you very much. I'm downloading debian-live-7.9.0-amd64-xfce-desktop.iso 
as we speak. I hope that's the one I'm looking for?

Those don't look like Live images to me; they look like install disks. Forgive 
me -- I've never used anything but Netinstall CDs, and I'm on a T1, so it'd 
take days to check them out myself. I need a Live Wheezy disk for debugging 
purposes. 

Does anyone know if any of those are Live Wheezy isos? Or maybe how to build 
one from a Netinstall?

Hmm. Thank you. Seems I was too quick to believe the Debian website
that Wheezy images were no longer available.

Need a downgrade :(

2016-02-23 Thread brian

My PC is running Jessie with no problems, and I finally persuaded my
wife to let me upgrade her PC. Disaster! There's some incompatibility
with her machine (an eMachines cheap-and-nasty) and Jessie will run
for about 10-15 minutes then something becomes corrupted, the display
is filled by a weird pattern, and everything locks solid. This is 100%
repeatable, you don't even need to do anything on the PC for it to
happen, just boot it, log in and leave it. 

The bad news is that I can't locate the live DVD I used to install
Wheezy for her, and it seems that Wheezy has disappeared from the
archive on the Debian website. 

Anybody know anywhere where I can download a Wheezy live image, or
even just installation disks, for (preferably) 64-bit Wheezy with an
XFCE desktop? 

Thanks, 

Brian.
