Debian DVD
Hi, I have a DVD-RW drive, and wish to make a Debian DVD..However, i have the problem that i can only download 3Gb per month, without having to pay 13c per mb after that.. My ISP allows for some downloads from "FREE" sites which dont count towards my 3Gb Quota..I have obtained, from one of those "FREE" sites, the 7 'woody' CDs. My question is this.. Is there a way to use those 7 cd's to build a DVD iso, so i can burn it, and install from it etc. ? If so, how would i go about this ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks, Travis. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Configure jigdo to use this mirror directory as its primary source of data. Use jigdo to build your dvd image, any files it doesnt find in your mirror dir it will download.

After you have downloaded the template and .jigdo for the dvd you can run it repeatedly using your cdrom as source with each debian cd in turn. If your cds and the jigdo dvd are the same revision you will never have to download a byte. Problem is I don't know if the dvd jigdo mirror was ever sorted out.

As the others said, you can do this with jigdo *if* someone makes some .jigdo/.template files for a woody DVD. FWIW, I've been experimenting with DVD creation in the last days. The template file for the i386 DVD ends up at about 70 MB of additional data to download. But I'll need to make a change to debian-cd before I can build the .jigdo files the way I like (with a pre-configured fallback server URL...), which has so far prevented me from doing the whole set.

Custom Debian ISO howto
I need to build a custom ISO with a custom kernel and can't seem to find any comprehensive howtos. I have found some bits and pieces about building custom boot disk and such which I would imagine is apart of the procedure. Could someone point me or even give some generic ideas on where to start? -- -Nick Golder http://www.hiveportal.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
