Trouble downloading woody with jigdo-lite

2003-11-30 Thread Jason Martin

Hi All,

Thanks for all the work you guys do in maintaining Debian!  I, 
and thousands like me, really appreciate it.  Hopefully one of 
you can tell me what I'm doing wrong...  I'm trying to use 
jigdo for my first time to download the woody CD images, and I 
keep running getting this error:

--09:33:48--  
ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/pool/main/c/cron/cron_3.0pl1-72_i386.deb
   =>

>From the looks of the ftp server, it should be going to:

instead of

but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.  When jigdo asks for 
the URL of the .jigdo file, I tell it:
http://us.cdimage.debian.org/jigdo-area/3.0_r1/jigdo/i386/woody-i386-1_NONUS.jigdo

and when it asks for mirros, I tell it:

   ftp://ftp.us.debian.org

for the main mirror and

   ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org

for the NONUS mirror.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!!

Boy do I feel stupid!  I just realized that I was typing in

   ftp://ftp.us.debian.org

where I should have been typing

   ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian

Sorry I bothered your maintainer list with such a silly post :-)

Thanks again for all the hard work, though!  I really do 
appreciate it.

It's fairly easy. You don't need to build the entire aboot package,
just the isomarkboot binary. To do that, all I need to do is:

1. apt-get source aboot
2. apply the following patch to aboot-0.9/lib/isolib.c:

--- isolib.c2003-12-01 00:08:05.0 +
+++ isolib.c.new2003-12-01 00:04:31.0 +
@@ -18,7 +18,9 @@
 
 #include 
 #include 
-#include 
+#include 
+#include 
+/* #include  */
 
 /* iso9660 support code */
 
3. cd aboot-0.9/tools
4. make isomarkboot

This will give a couple of warnings, but will do the job. Let me know
if you have any more trouble...

System Question

2003-11-30 Thread Mauricio
Hello,

I'm going to download de Debian CD Images for my computer. It's an AMD Athlon XP 
1700+. Wich version I must download? the Intel-Compatible or other one?

Other question I want to do: is there a new stable version near from now to be 
completed? because I don't have an ADSL/Cable-modem and I need to pay for the ISO-CD 
download. If a new version is going to be released, I want to wait this little time to 
download it.

Sorry if my words/english are not very clearly.

Thanks for your answer.
