Is there anywhere I can download really, really ancient debian images. I need potato or older (i386). I'd like a mountable disk image.
I have no idea if debootstrap supports this, I haven't tried (yet), I was hoping there was somewhere I could download an image. This is to build some ancient software. I've tried Jessie, which is the oldest release I have images for but unfortunately that has e2fslibs-dev 1.42 while the software will not build with e2fslibs >1.19. The oldest backups I still have go back to 2006 which, sadly, is way too modern. Checking the potato release information says security updates were discontinued in 2003. I switched from Redhat to Debian around that time so I'm likely not to have had any backups for potato anyway although I did at least boot it at that time. Tim.
