Never mind, upon looking in the script there is a rm -rf which indeed can nuke dirs! Nothing makes the dir. discover seems to be part of the core package list copied to the HDD during install, thus I 
don't see it being possible to complete the intsall in the current condition. Hello, Debian CD team, is this one getting fixed?

status of d-i kernel transition

[Joey Hess]

An update of the table of kernel versions. This time I've added a column
for debian-cd, which reflects the kernel(s) that go on the netinst (from
the debian-installer+kernel file). Quite a mess there, the rest of the
updates to the new kernel are done, except for hppa and apus. I've still
not checked to see what kernel-images are available in testing yet.

archudebs build/config   rootskel  base-installer debian-cd
i3862.4.27/2.6.8  2.4.27/2.6.8   2.4.27/2.6.8 2.4.27/2.6.8
alpha   2.4.272.4.27   2.4.27 2.4.26/2.6.6 [3]
amd64   2.6.8 2.6.8   N/A [4]

sparc   2.4.27/2.6.8  2.4.27/2.6.82.4.26 [11]

[1] Note hppa is still using 2.4.25 for the d-i initrds. This will
break as soon as 2.4.25 udebs are removed from the archive..
[2] Hi apus.. (bye apus?)
[3] Note older 2.4.26 alpha kernel on CD, and it has 2.6 kernels for some
reason.
[4] Does not seem to be in debian-cd CVS
[5] I checked and the arm netinst CD really has no kernel deb on it at all!
[6] So hppa is fully out of sync between 2.4.2[5-7] kernels.
[7] Mips out of date on CD.
[8] Mipsel too..
[9] Powerpc CD outdated for both kernels. No apus kernels.
[10] No s390 cds.
[11] Sparc cds have old 2.4 kernel and no 2.6.

I think this is not as bad as it looks, because apparently the
debian-installer+kernel file is locally updated as part of the daily
netinst build process. So newer kernels are included in that version for
most architectures than what is listed in debian-cd cvs. A spot check of
sparc shows that its daily netinsts really have 2.4.27. I wonder what
that file is in CVS at all actually since it is automatically generated.

jigdo problem .bug?

[Euthimis Drimwnas]

hi

im trying to download the dvd images just as you say in the instructions,
but when some files remain(150-160 i think) jigdo tries to download the
remaining from http://gluck.debian and then wget says :

HTTP request sent, awaiting response...
Read error (Connection reset by peer) in headers.
Retrying.

i noticed that it tries to download some packages (ex webmin- version 1.50
but  1.50 exists only in gluck, the others have 1.60) but from http
location is not working gets the previous error.


what can be done?

thanks

So it has been reported. Indeed the discover binary is unable to find much hardware at 
all on this GigaByte GA7IXE4 based system.

I find that things work best when 'discover' is not installed, but
'hotplug' and 'udev' are.

Loop-mounting old .iso.tmp files is actually documented in the Debian jigdo
mini HOWTO.

The creators of .jigdo files can simply add snapshot.debian.net to have
jigdo use that server. So far, I'm a bit reluctant to recommend this,
because it will mean that snapshot.d.n will be hit badly by people from all 
over the world, when typically these people would be off far better with 
just using the latest weekly .jigdo files.

In the long run, my plan is to implement a simple "phone home" system in
the jigdo GUI app: A CGI script on some Debian server collects the md5sums
of failed individual downloads. The jigdo application fetches this list of
md5sums before starting a download, and uploads its own list of failed
download md5sums to the script after a failure. Furthermore, the downloads 
in the list provided by the CGI are tried first, so if one of them really 
fails, jigdo can abort early with an error, and not after hundreds of MB 
have been downloaded.

Cheers,

  Richard

How do you know that webmin 1.50 only exists on gluck? At a guess you 
entered the failed wget URL into your browser to check? In that case it is 
very likely that your proxy settings for jigdo-lite are not correct - see 
 on how to set them.

Cheers,

  Richard

Guys, you don't have a choice about the basic stuff the Sarge CD installs to disk. THAT'S the problem! It puts discover1 in, which does not find the devices on my box, which deletes the /media/cdrom0 
directory... even though the kernel did load the driver and the CD is working A-OK.

After the install is done, sure, go ahead and switch packages around. Then it is up to you if you goof your box up, but the CD "hassa work", yes Or am I crazy, are extra steps like recreating 
/media/cdrom0 dir cool these days?
