Nedavno Albert Dengg pise: | well, as an alternative to the option of the previous poster (run a | netinstall), you could also use jigdo to download the images for the | testing distribution, which should not be much difference to | unstable... | | though, it is probably faster to run a netinstall (unless you plan to | install multiple installs, in which case you could also use some sort | of proxy (either a specialiced one for apt, or an aproprialtly | configured http/ftp proxy). downloading all packages will most of the | time be and overkill, since you will only need a fraktion of them.
Yes, I knew that. But then when I need to install something new (and I do from time to time) I end up needing to download lots of MB (one package depends on other, and so on...) Not practical on dial-up. And I can not bother my friend every time, or take my desktop to a coffee shop (and they do not have Internet connection where I am). So the most practical is to download everything once a year, or, as I found now, ask someone to download and burn DVD-s for me for a small fee (check here http://www.discountlinuxdvd.com/debian.htm 4 DVD set for just $7.00). I asked this guy, and he is willing to download and burn DVD-s for me. I just have to mail him a link where from he can download Debian sid. | however, you can download the jigdo files for testing from here: | http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/#which | | (you will also find a description on how to do it there) I know about jigdo, I used it last year, but now whoever was responsible for creating .jigdo and .template files for unstable / sid stopped updating files: ftp://ftp.fsn.hu/pub/CDROM-Images/debian-unofficial/sid-dvd/jigdo/ I found some German sites offering Debian sid DVD-s but for ~$35. So it is possible to get sid, and I am just asking here if anyone knows how to do that. -- ___ ____ /__/ / \ ** Registrovani korisnik Linuksa #291606 ** / / \/ /\ \ ** Registered Linux user #291606 ** /__/\____/--\__\ ** http://counter.li.org/ ** -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
