Is there anywhere I can download really, really ancient debian
images. I
need potato or older (i386). I'd like a mountable disk image.
And, of course, as soon as I sent that I found a potato CD on
archive.org. Downloading now - it's going to take a while - about 20x
faster than it would have been back in the day over dialup but
definitely not a high speed archive :-)
There's also archive.debian.org. See for example
https://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-
i386/2.2.26-2001-06-14/images-1.44/
This is fantastic, thanks all!
And for anyone who might want to do something like this in the future,
the only file I actually needed was:
https://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-
i386/2.2.26-2001-06-14/base2_2.tgz
I downloaded the CD, mounted it and got it that way but it can be
downloaded directly. I assume the other old things are similar.
I've managed to build versions going all the way back to 1999.
Now for the main question: Why do you need ancient Debian?
best regards,
chris
