OK, I've done it for the non-US site, but I don't have access on
us.cdimage.debian.org I'm afraid. Can somebody else do that for us
please?

Probably even better: use apt-cacher or one of the other proxying
scripts. You should end up using less bandwith than when you download
all dvd images (You only download each package once, and you only
download a package if it's actually used somewhere).

Re: Debian install server

2003-01-15 Thread sday42
I would use an ftp mirror with rsync (and did infact try to)
however the machine I am running it on only has 10GB of
storage, and since the way the files are pooled it downloads
all 3 dists (sid sarge and woody) for i386, which comes to
around 15GB now

The NFS exported CD install works great though, it would just
be easier to admin as a single file

Try debmirror then - it parses the Packages and Sources files to just
get the bits you want, rather than all of the pool structure. On my
laptop I want to keep woody and sarge for i386 only, which I do using
the following wrapper script:

==
#!/bin/sh

OPTS="--nosource --method=ftp"
DISTS="sarge,woody"

debmirror /home/mirror/debian $OPTS --dist=$DISTS \
--root=debian -h mirror --ignore=non-US/

debmirror /home/mirror/debian/non-US $OPTS
--dist=sarge/non-US,woody/non-US \
--root=debian/non-US -h mirror

debmirror /home/mirror/debian-security $OPTS --dist=$DISTS \
--section=updates/main,updates/contrib,updates/non-free \
--root=debian-security -h mirror

Broken links and info on Colombian vendors of Debian

2003-01-15 Thread Juan Camilo Rozo Osuna
Hi, just wanted to point out that out of the 3 official Debian Vendors
on Colombia, only one seems to be working (tiendalinux.com). One of the
other two seems not to have a webpage at all (linux-colombia.com), and
the other seems to be a broken link (And in their main page they say
nothing about Debian)...
