Sarge won't recognise second CD

[Rich]

Hi,
 
I'm trying to install Sarge and everything is fine 
until I'm asked for the second CD.
The CD isn't recognised, and the prompt to insert 
second disk simply reappears.
The CD was Jigdo-d and burned on my Windoes box as 
a bootable image and appears to be OK and indeed disk one worked just 
fine.
 
Is there a config file somewhere that apt-get (or 
is it tasksel) looks at to find the cd? Maybe it's looking in the wrong 
place?
I've RTFM but being a newbie, maybe I RT wrong FM, 
who knows.
 
Any ideas gratefully received.
 
Badly Overdrawn 
Boy.

So, there's been no response in two weeks or so; may I commit this?

d-i image builds now come with an initrd.list file per image, which may
be usable to figure out automatically what can be excluded (although I
believe there are still one or two udpkg issues).

IMHO, go ahead!

jigdo 0.7.1

[Richard Atterer]

Hello,

it's been a long time since the last jigdo release, more than a year! 
For various reasons, I haven't had as much time as before to dedicate to it 
- still, development never stopped completely, and I'm looking forward to 
continuing to support and develop it.

This is mostly a bugfix release. Most important news:

 - Includes a workaround for big files (DVD images) with GCC 3.0 to 3.3. 
   This allows DVD support for some non-i386 Debian arches, and makes it no 
   longer necessary to compile with GCC 2.95 for DVD support.

 - DVD support for Windows! However, this is UNTESTED (due to lack of 
   space on my Windows partitions) - please test and report about 
   success/failure! (CD image creation tested and working.)

 - Numerous bugfixes

 - Quite some work on the GUI, but it's still not usable

New official .deb packages will take until Wednesday or so - this has been 
a busy weekend... :)

Source code:  
Statically linked binary: 
Windows binary:   
Downloading Debian CDs:   


The detailed changelog entry:

  - Workaround for problems with big files (DVD images) when compiling
with GCC 3.0 to 3.3.
  - Fix for Windows version: "wget: BUG: unknown command `timeout'" no
longer occurs (was spurious anyway, but irritated many people)
  - Windows version compiled with GCC 3.4, can hopefully create big
files (DVD images)
  - removed "too many files missing, won't attempt to download them
from fallback mirror" logic in jigdo-lite because it was broken
  - .jigdo file format: Semantics of multiple [Image] sections have
changed: Formerly, the idea was that one .jigdo could provide
multiple images, but the idea never caught on and the idea "one
.jigdo => one image" is firmly planted in people's minds now. The
original incentive of allowing multiple [Image] sections was to
make it possible to avoid duplication of .jigdo data, by providing
all 7 CDs and the single DVD in one .jigdo. This duplication can
now be avoided by [Include]ing the CDs' files from the DVD's,
because all except the first [Image] section are ignored.
  - Fixed minor bug in jigdo-lite; it would sometimes abort even if no
error code was returned by jigdo-file
  - GUI: Added code for processing of .jigdo files and [Include]
  - GUI: Added simple caching of downloaded data during .jigdo
downloads
  - Bugfix for "jigdo-file make-image" (Steve McIntyre): Failed
assertion `nextAlignedOff>off' and huge .template with >4GB image.
  - Bugfix for "jigdo-file make-template": Sometimes *incorrectly*
reports: "You have found a bug". (Maxim Reznik)
  - Bugfix for "jigdo-file make-image": Handle I/O errors more
gracefully (Brian Bennett)
  - Bugfix for "jigdo-file make-image" (Andreas Krüger): Do not
allocate on the stack an array whose size is the number of matched
files in the image. This gave, er, "funny" results with tens of
thousands of matches... 
  - Added comfortable debugging aids ("debug(fmt,...)", --debug=...)
  - Various documentation updates (manpages, Hacking.txt, changelog;-P)
  - Fix for build problems if size_t is 64 bits wide
  - Various fixes to allow compilation with GCC 3.4
  - Added unit tests for many parts of the code, with support in
depend.awk
  - Fixed bug in html-beautify.awk
  - Vanity meter reports 26000 lines of code in 120 files


Have fun!

Cheers,

  Richard
