For the CD images, you'll have to find an out-dated mirror or a mirror that still stores older images (check ftp.rfc822.org for example). For installation & upgrade, you'll find older versions of Debian on http://archive.debian.org/debian-archive/, however, potato should still be on ftp.debian.org currently, since too many people are still using it and the security team still needs to support it.

Themost easiest way would be to add the following lines into your /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main Next run 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade' and your system will be upgraded to the most recent update of the stable distribution. You don't need to create a new CD set. > http://us.cdimage.debian.org/jigdo-area/ > > looks like 3.0r1 is not available yet - btw when it > will be available ? It is now. If you created an r0 CD and left the .deb files creating a r1 CD should not download all files again but only the new files. However, you may want to use the update CD instead, which only contains files that were updated on top of the r0 release.

It uses whatever the sources.list line indicates; in the above case it is "stable", so your solution is OK, or you could have changed the line to use "woody" instead of "stable".

jigdo 0.6.9
Hello,
yes, it did happen! This version contains a rather large number of
changes, so I'm bound to have messed up /something/ - if you've got a
few minutes, please test it now!
Changes since 0.6.8:
- jigdo-lite: New batch mode - if you enter (or supply on the
command line) several files/URLs, all the questions are only asked
once before the first download. Furthermore, the program *always*
asks for Debian/Non-US mirror URLs, it only asks for "Files to
scan" once, it always downloads all images offered by all .jigdo
files, and it does not stop immediately after errors, but
continues with the next image.
- You can enter URLs like "http://server/cd-{1_NONUS,2,3}.jigdo"; and
they'll be expanded to several separate URLs.
- jigdo-lite: --scan command line option to avoid "Files to scan"
question.
- By popular demand, always use wget's --continue switch, except
when fetching .jigdo files. This *will* cause severe breakage in
the case that someone starts the download of a .template of
fsn.hu's daily snapshot on one day, and resumes it the next day,
but that's just a problem people will have to be aware of. :-/
- jigdo-lite: Use --force-directories, allows --continue to be used
for individual package downloads. (Previously, all downloaded
.debs etc were stored directly in the tmp dir, so --continue could
not be used because there are e.g. several files named
"driver-1.bin" on Debian servers.)
- jigdo-lite: Use a separate temporary dir for each new download.
This allows you to run several jigdo-lite instances in the same
dir at the same time.
- jigdo-lite: When temporary dir is already present, scan its
contents *before* downloading the first batch of files
(Goswin Brederlow and others)
- jigdo-file: Default for --min-length is now 1k by default, the
hardwired absolute minimum is 256 bytes (used to be 4k/1k)
- jigdo-file make-template: Changed heuristics when dropping
possible file matches. Difficult to explain... essentially,
together with the previous change, .template files for Debian CDs
will get quite a bit smaller (Santiago Garcia Mantinan)
- On Windows, fail with meaningful error for images >2GB (ATM, we
don't have big file support with MinGW GCC)
- Fixed compilation error with gcc 3 and --without-libdb (Attila)
- Improved check for getopt_long support in configure script, it
failed on FreeBSD 5 (Attila Nagy)
- Added jigdo.pot to output, including initial German translation
- configure script: Made --without-gui the default, as people have
problems compiling with GTK & libwww, and the GUI is useless ATM
- jigdo-lite: Misc fixes to make it work with mingw under Windows
- jigdo-lite accepts --help and --version options
- jigdo-lite: Changed timeout from wget's default 15 minutes to just
30 seconds (only has an effect if no ~/.jigdo-lite present)
- debian-mirrors.jigdo: Bugfix in creation script (HTTP/FTP paths on
server were swapped), omit FTP URL if HTTP access possible
(Phil Hands)
- Build environment: Fix for bug in depend.awk, which made it output
dependencies on .ih files when it shouldn't
- jigdo-file make-template: Prevent infinite loop if I/O error
occurs during scanning of files (Blars Blarson)
- jigdo-file make-template: Fixed bug which could lead to
segmentation faults if the image contained a long, but only
partial match of a file, and another long partial match of another
file within the "outer" partial match.
- jigdo-file make-template: Bugfix - server line was sometimes added
to [Image] section when using --merge
- jigdo-file make-template: Fix for bug which is extremely unlikely
in practice, caused segfault if read() returned <32 bytes or so
while reading start of file.
- jigdo-file make-template bugfix: Now creates properly quoted
entries in [Parts] sections for filenames containing spaces or
characters like "'\
- Improved handling of invalid cache files (created if disc gets
full during cache update): Instead of crashing, jigdo-file prints
an error. However, libdb still corrupts the cache file.

Bug#175952: "current" area for jigdo files still points to 3.0r0
i'm still encountering this problem, even though the bug has been closed when i go to http://us.cdimage.debian.org/jigdo-area/current/jigdo/ the .jigdo files there still appear for 3.0r0, based on the dates (sometime in july). it would seem that "current" should currently point to the 3.0r1 .jigdo files now... pgpE6OSrmnoEM.pgp Description: PGP signature
