Dear Debianists,
I downloaded an iso file for a Debian based distribution called 64 studio.
I didn't use wget I just did a an http download.... It was only about
650MB or so and didn't take that long...
http://www.mirror.ac.uk/mirror/images.64studio.com/
Iso file name was 64studio-install_1.0.0_amd64.iso
I downloaded it all and then the Archive manager in Etch appeared and
asked me what I wanted to do next.
Normally I download with either wget or jigdo etc and get a sinlge iso
file. I am not used to dealing with the archive beastie.
I was not so sure what to do with this so I hit the extract key. I now
have a whole bunch of directories that have what I assume is the contents
of this distro.....
But there is no single iso file. It seems to have been broken downinto
separate files and directories in some way.
Assuming all of it is there and I suspect it is is there way to issue some
clever dick command that will sniff around in these directories and direct
the burning of a CD with this distro on it?
Failing this is there a command that can create a single iso file out of
the files that archive manager downloaded that I can then use to burn the
CD for this distro?
If not I will go back and download it again with wget and get a single iso
fiel and avoid the pesky and unpredictable archive beastie.
Comments appreciated.

Mmm the ISO you just downloaded burn great in GNOME with nautilus doing
just "Right Click -> Burn image" ... if not, you can always install a burn
tool like breasero (bonfire) in GNOME and k3b under KDE
OK, I went in the /tmp area and to my pleasure I found the unmessed with iso
file. So I dumped it in the CD burner and now I have the CD I need. I have
moved the iso file to my/home directory in case I find there are errors in
the CD I burned when I come to install the OS..... In Debian Etch
installations I run the installer and check the integrity of each CD before
I install with them. There are some MD5sum things in the repository but I
am not sure how to use them to check the integrity of the CD I burnt.
Maybe the new distro has been modified enough so it will properly check the
integrity of the CD itself. I will try it....
Now I can delete all these silly files created by this silly archive
software that nobody knows what to do with anyway....
Thanks
Regards
