Using CDs to seed mirror?

2001-02-19 Thread tod
I've got an official CD-ROM set of Debian 2.2r2 i386. I'd like to set up an in-house HTTP mirror to use for installations and upgrades, particularly for machines without CD-ROM drives. I tried copying the contents of the 3 CDs into a directory which I made available via HTTP, but when I hit

Creating a base-only cd image?

2001-02-19 Thread Robert Guthrie
Just a suggestion from someone who doesn't know the first thing about building a debian cd image from scratch... I was wondering if anyone had ever considered creating a cd image that contained only enough of the system to apt-get everything else (from nfs, ftp, or http) after the initial boot

Pseudo-Image Kit for 2.2_rev2/i386

2001-02-19 Thread kckelly
Have tried to use the Pseudo-Image Kit Ver2.0 to get the latest release of Debian.   Every binary-i386-1.list file I've found points to the "potato" directories, and the make-pseudo-image command says it cannot find a lot of files.  The pseudo-image file it creates is only 31 mb.   Is there
