RE: Wrong number of packages?
Did you consider the symbolic links pointing to the packages in the
"binary-all" hiearchy?
The first find looks explicity only for regular files (-type f), while the
second does not.

Subject: Wrong number of packages?
Hi!
Today I was doing a set of sid i386 cds and I found this:
The debian cd scripts said:
Statistics :
Number of packages : 6387
Number of excluded : 0 of 6387
After finishing copying the files to the cds and without any cp error or any
other error I run on the directory I use for building the images:
manty@pule:/otro/tmp/sid-i386$ find . -type f -name '*.deb'|wc -l
5255
And then I run on the debian mirror:
manty@pule:/ceu/debian/dists/sid$ find . -name binary-i386 -exec grep
'^Package: ' {}/Packages \;|wc -l
6267
So, wich if the numbers is correct?
Can anybody explain whi only 5255 packages go into the cds if there are over
6000?
Thanks in advance!

Note that I'm currently working on a tool which will allow you to say: "Here's a CD full of files and an 'image template' (created for a new CD, also by my tool) - please fetch any new deb's and re-use the other files from the old CD." Eventually, I want to write a graphical user interface, but the tool is useful even now, as an add-on for the current command-line pseudo-image-kit. Expect a first release in a week or so.

Problem Creating CD from CD Image
Hello, I tried twice to create a CD from the CD image. Both times I was unsuccessful. The CD's I burned were not bootable, couldn't be browsed in Windows, nor mounted from Linux. Below are the steps I took and the errors I got. I did this in Windows ME. Does someone know why I'm experiencing problems? Thanks, Hermen The steps I took: Downloaded the Pseudo-Image kit Downloaded binary-i386-1.list from http://www.uk.debian.org/debian-cd/cd-images >From the DOS prompt I ran the command: make-pseudo-image binary-i386-1.list ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian Renamed pseudo-image to binary-i386-1.iso Ran rsync as follows: rsync --verbose --progress --stats --block-size=8192 aurolinux.mit.edu::debian-cd/2.2_rev2/i386/binary-i386-1.iso . Checked that the sum from the following command matched the results in http://www.uk.debian.org/debian-cd/cd-images: md5sum -b binary-i386-1.iso The sums matched, so I used Adaptec's Easy CD Creator Version 4.02d to burn the CD The error I got after I ran rsync: ERROR: file corruption in binary-i386-1.iso. File changed during transfer? I saw no errors when I ran the make-pseudo-image command. I tried to run rsync from both aurolinux.mit.edu, saens.debian.org, and ftp.fifi.org. I got the same error from all three sites. I tried to create a CD Image using Easy CD Creator from the CD Images I rsync'd from aurolinux.mit.edu and ftp.fifi.org. In both cases Easy CD Creator said that it successfully created the CD from the CD Image. But the CD that was burned was not bootable, nor could I browse it in Windows. When I tried to mound the CD as root within Linux with the following command, it complained that there was "no medium found": mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/hdc /cdrom
Using CDs to seed mirror?
I've got an official CD-ROM set of Debian 2.2r2 i386. I'd like to set up an in-house HTTP mirror to use for installations and upgrades, particularly for machines without CD-ROM drives. I tried copying the contents of the 3 CDs into a directory which I made available via HTTP, but when I hit this mirror from a machine running version 2.1 with "apt-get upgrade ; apt-get -s dist-upgrade" it downloads package files okay but only wants to upgrade xntp3. Is there a way I can properly set up this HTTP mirror from the CDs? My net connection is too slow to mirror the normal way.

Creating a base-only cd image?
Just a suggestion from someone who doesn't know the first thing about building a debian cd image from scratch... I was wondering if anyone had ever considered creating a cd image that contained only enough of the system to apt-get everything else (from nfs, ftp, or http) after the initial boot. It seems that the cd image would be extremely small in comparison, so less bandwidth would be wasted building pseudo-images of it. On the user's side of things, no more boot floppies needed when they can't copy the base system to thier hard-drive, but don't want to spend 5 days creating the cd image from behind a 56k connection. I actually did the latter to get started on debian. I could have just configured the base system, and then slowly built my debian system from task packages or just individual ones. What do you think? Wouldn't it be pretty easy to just exclude the vast majority of the cd image? Putting this on one of those credit-card cd's would be pretty cool.. "Hey Bob, you said Debian was pretty cool. Want to help me install it sometime?" "Sure, why not now?" pulls out wallet, "Here, put this in your cd drive and reboot." -- Did you know that if you play a Windows 2000 cd backwards, you will hear the voice of Satan? That's nothing!

Of course I had to gzip the resultant combined Packages files to replace the ones off the CD, since apt-get looks for the .gz extensions when fetching from a http: URL configured in /etc/apt/sources.list. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

RE: Creating a base-only cd image?
Greetings, When potato was unstable and the release candidates were being tested, there were some net install CD images made. I think I might still have one. Of course, they are *somewhat* broken. I recall a discussion in which there was the promise(?) of having such a beastie once the release was actually released, but I've seen nothing of it. Otherwise, the linuxcare bootable business card can install debian, but it is slink with a 2.0.36(?) kernel. BTW, I would LOVE to have the net install CD again!!!

Re: Wrong number of packages?
> Did you consider the symbolic links pointing to the packages in the > "binary-all" hiearchy? Well, if you look well, that is done on all the cd images, not any directory in particular, so I'm accounting every single deb file on the cds. I have realised this afternoon that when I was accounting the packages files I was not counting the non-US part wich was on the cds. But that only solves the diference in the grep of the Packages and the number of packages that debian-cd says that will be installed. It doesn't explain the difference between 6387 and 5255, wich could be explained in terms of dependencies as Philip Charles says.

Pseudo-Image Kit for 2.2_rev2/i386
Have tried to use the Pseudo-Image Kit Ver2.0 to get the latest release of Debian. Every binary-i386-1.list file I've found points to the "potato" directories, and the make-pseudo-image command says it cannot find a lot of files. The pseudo-image file it creates is only 31 mb. Is there a current list file for 2.2_rev2? Also, when using rsync I tried using saens.debian.org::debian-cd as the server, but what is the correct path for the iso file? Kevin C. Kelly

The linuxcare bootable business card supports installing debian base (type "debian" at the lilo prompt iirc). I belive this has been removed from the most recent verison for some reason, but old images should be available and maybe it'll come back eventually. -- see shy jo, who has broken too many bbc cd's is his wallet and laptop bag -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
