Trying make the Sarge CDs go bootable
Hi! Today I upgraded cd creation stuff on gluck and rebuilt the i386 images, this weekend all other arches will be rebuilt, so if somebody wants to have a look at the i386 images and try to see if something is wrong, it would be great. The main changes are that I'm now using debootstrap 0.2.2 and debian-cd from cvs with all the changes Joy has introduced lately. Also have been looking at the scripts to make the cds bootable, trying to see if I could make some other cds bootable using Debian Installer, the results were deceiving. The only cds being bootable at this time are for the i386 architecture, none of the other arches has provided scripts for making their cds bootable. This could be due to two things, nobody has still tried to put debian-installer images on a cd, or even worst, they still don't have debian-installer images that work in their arches. This second posibility should be worrying, at least to me it is, and I really want to call people from other arches to put some effort in making debian-installer work on their arches. As far as I know the only arch besides i386 that has debian-installer images is alpha, but they are really old, mckinstry was building alpha images, but his latest images are from the 18th of march. Also i386 builds that tfheen was making seems to be quite broken. So, to sum it all up and as far as I know... Arches with d-i images: i386, alpha Arches with CD bootable images: i386 Arches with an up to date d-i image creation proccess: none That doesn't sound good to me, I hope somebody knows about fresher news than mine of improvements in this status.

I have been using your i386 sid dvd jigdo files & template.
