Hi, as you can see from the other replies, Jessie is heavily outdated. Do you have hard reasons not to use a newer version of Debian ?
Nevertheless i see it as an interesting technical endeavor to install such a legacy system. If this would be impossible, why then keep all the old software on the Debian servers ?

So lines in /etc/apt/sources.list like deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free should still work. The .jigdo Files of the Debian ISOs know places where to get old packages: $ gunzip < debian-8.11.1-amd64-DVD-1.jigdo | tail -3 [Servers] Debian=http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20190212T020859Z/ Debian=http://us.cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/snapshot/Debian/ --try-last > - the DVD installer simply would not run the OS afterwards (see picture > below) No picture made it to the list. You will have to upload it somewhere and post a link here. In general i would have proposed to download (modulo machine type) https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/8.11.1/amd64/jigdo-dlbd/debian-8.11.1-amd64-DLBD-1.jigdo https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/8.11.1/amd64/jigdo-dlbd/debian-8.11.1-amd64-DLBD-1.template and to use jigdo-lite to build a ~50 GB ISO with about everything that was available back then. Still very complete should be the first ~25 GB ISO: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/8.11.1/amd64/jigdo-bd/debian-8.11.1-amd64-BD-1.jigdo https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/8.11.1/amd64/jigdo-bd/debian-8.11.1-amd64-BD-1.template But for that you will have to sort out the DVD problems first, i guess. Have a nice day :) Thomas
