Try putting the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list on that Debian 5.
deb http://http.debian.net/debian-archive/debian lenny
deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian-archive/debian lenny
Or in apt configuration
http://http.debian.net/debian-archive/debian lenny
should work.
Neither will work as none of the mirrors used by http.debian.net has the
Lenny achive on it.
And I had just tried it, and got the same error message as with every
other mirror that I had tried; "Bad Archive Mirror".
I think that I really need access to the ISO images.
One thing that I do not understand; in February, a message was
broadcast, stating that Debian 5.0.10 had just been realeased, and then,
all Debian 5 repositories appear to have been disappeared, as soon as
Debian 5.0.10 was released.
It seems strange (to me), that notification of an update release is
broadcast, and then all repositories of that version, are disappeared at
the same time as that release.
Do the ISO images for Debian 5.0.10, still exist in any official Debian
repository?
Thank you in anticipation.
