Re: Re: size of DVD-image sarge-i386-1.iso is too large?

2004-09-06 Thread Nelson Altimari
Hi, i've had the same problem. After spending 26 hours downloading stuff 
(hey, it's A LOT of stuff...), I wasn't able to burn 'sarge-i386-1.iso' 
on a DVD+RW... :,-(

My DVD+RW is a RiDATA, and Nero6 reports 4.483MB (roughly 4,700,766,208 
bytes) under Win2K. So, I guess your assumption is correct, 4.7x10^9 
seems to be safe enough for the 'next' iso image.

Any chance to have this fixed by the end of the week?
Thanks,

FWIW, I get the same size (2295104*2KB = 4590208k) with DVD+R (not +RW), 
also with a Lite-On drive, using Philips media:

sarge CD images: kindly elaborate?

2004-09-06 Thread Russell L. Harris
Dear Debian CD team,
Please forgive me for not understanding, but would you kindly restate in 
other words the following note which appears on the web page 
http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/ ?

 ---
Note (Aug 30, 2004): The weekly CD build process is being modified to 
allow the fast generation of sarge CD images. While this work continues, 
no new weekly images are built - do not attempt to download images whose 
timestamp shows them to be older than one week!

* Official jigdo files for the "testing" distribution on CD
  (all architectures, regenerated weekly)
* Official jigdo files for the "testing" distribution on DVD
  (all architectures, regenerated weekly)
 -
Do you mean to say simply that new CD images are to be posted whenever 
they become available, rather than on a rigid weekly schedule?

And what should I do if I need an image, but the newest image listed on 
the download page:

   http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/cd/jigdo-area/
is more than a week old?
Also, I notice that the latest DVD image for the i386 is dated the 6th 
of September, whereas the latest CD image for the i386 is dated the 7th 
of August.  Does this imply that CDs are deprecated in favour of DVDs?
