official "testing" images kernel modules...

[Tit \"Black\" Petric]

Hi,

Im having a problem with installing deb on a linux only system, from the
sarge 80mb package iso. I have read the FAQ and found out that you only
offer support for USB keyboards for floppy distributions. I have an USB only
system, and no floppy drive inside the box, so you can guess im stuck. I can
switch USB keyboard support inside the BIOS not to react from the OS, but
after the kernel loads im stuck there without a registered keypress (ie,
keyboard stops working).

I see how you save space or something for the floppies this way, but to
exclude USB keyboard support inside the CD iso (network install), i really
do not see a point in that.

Is there any way i can build my own network install iso with USB support, or
that you supply me & the public with one of those? I dont see point in
saving space here :/

regards,
tit petric

You're not! :) If none of the netinst images supports USB, you can still
download only the first woody CD image. Then, enter "bf2.4" at its boot
prompt.

Anyway, ATM installing woody first and only then upgrading to sarge is 
better, since the sarge installation system is still under development. 

You seem to have misread the FAQ entry
 - if there's any change I could 
make to the wording to make things clearer, please tell me.

Cheers,

  Richard

How to make a CDROM distribution

[Rahmat M. Samik-Ibrahim]

Hello:

Please let me know if this email should not be sent here, but either
to debian-boot or debian-users or other lists. Basically, I am
interested to put recent debian packages into a CDROM/RW -- so 
that I can update my PC at home which is not linked to the net.

Currently I am using a script like this:

% mkisofs -quiet -L -r -J -T -c boot.catalog -b \ 
 dists/stable/de2/disks-i386/current/images-2.88/bf2.4/rescue.bin \
 -m '*.iso' -V $DATE -o tmp/$IMAGE de2/

The problem is that I can not find any hints about how 
to modify "rescue.bin". 

Is there any "step-by-step" guide about:
* how to make a boot floopy?
* the script of building the Debian official CDROMs?
* the script of building "netinst"

The second problem is how to fetch debian packages. The current
apt tools a tightly related to the host on where it runs.
E.g. it will complain if fetching an existing package, etc.
I notice that even "jigdo" does not utilize the "apt" family.
Currently, I am extrating directly the information in
"Packages" for the package location information.

Last, I have no idea on how to check the dependencies.
Currently, overcome this problem by only fetching packages
from "dpkg --get-selections". Fortunately, the utility
"apt-ftparchive" will take care of multiple package
versions.

Thank you for any clues,
