Package: installation Severity: normal Hello I tried to install from the sarge install iso. It failed when 'anna' tries to grep the file /cdrom/dists/stable/Release. This is because in the 'dists' directory on the cdrom, there is a _file_ named 'stable', not a symlink to 'sarge'. The 'sarge' directory entry _is_ a directory, with lots of eagerly-anticipated udebs in it :).
The md5sum for the .iso is a5eae5885ddf3bb523b46dd1c19fc8dd which matches entry in the MD5SUMS file, http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/netinst/i386/beta-1/sarge-i386-netinst.iso dated 09-Nov-2003 16:43 I sucked down the .iso with wget on linux (debian stable) and burned it with 'cdrw' on Solaris8. I don't know if it's the burning software, or the installer kernel misinterpreting the iso9660 filesystem structure. The kernel loaded the ide-cd and isofs kernel modules ok. The arguments to cdrw were cdrw -C -v -i sarge-i386-netinst.iso Loopback-mounting the .iso under linux, the symlinks are ok. This may cause problems for people, so is it possible to either: * hack anna to try /cdrom/dists/sarge/Release if /cdrom/dists/stable/Release can't be found, or * provide hints about burning .isos so that symlinks are preserved?
