That file is dists/potato/Release, and AFAIK nothing from there is included except Contents-$ARCH.gz.

CVS is really very simple, only most people don't tell you that ;-) Check out http://cdimage.debian.org/ch32.html for the 4 cut'n'paste commands you need.

I think by now it would be possible to run an FTP mirror on a Windows machine, NT4 preferred (<=98,NT3 and >=2K probably would work too, but less stable). For that, you would need a reasonably complete Cygwin installation, see http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/, and a "stock" rsync compiled under cygwin. The rsync as shipped with the Pseudo-Image Kit only works for single files, but the patch causing that is only necessary on W95. Then it would probably be possible to use the anonymous rsync mirroring script from http://www.debian.org/mirror/ftpmirror. But be sure to set CYGWIN=binmode from the DOS prompt before starting anything from Cygwin, or else you'll get ASCII-mode mirroring. If you have some working setup, I suppose [EMAIL PROTECTED] would be very interested to hear how you've done it ;-) Regards, Anne Bezemer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Which of course means that there are no r2 images yet, as announced at http://cdimage.debian.org . Keep checking back there for the latest info.

Linux Business Card or something like that. The TelemetryBox distribution allows for a fully featured install using a Business card.

Its probably very easy to do if you get my customized stuff from http://openrock.net/tb/patch/debian-cd and http://openrock.net/tb/patch/boot-floppies and build your own version. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Your current ccimage seems to come very close to that, but things like apache, mysql and php aren't needed for that purpose. I suppose you have these packages listed somewhere; a ccimage created with that list being empty would be exactly what we need, or at least come very close. If you happen to have the time to create such a stripped-down ccimage, I would be glad to mirror it in one or two places, and point to it from the cdimage.debian.org webpages for people who want/need it.
