Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Jigdo built the DLBD volumes in the normal fashion.
dd copied the .iso files into 64GB USB sticks.
I installed using volume 1. D-I did not ask for volume 2 to be inserted.
I booted and asked apt to install chromium (just an example; I don't use it).
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
apt-get asked for a media change.
An inspection shows sources.listed (bare of any internet repositories, which
seems odd) starts with cdrom:
* What was the outcome of this action?
Even a linux tyro like me can figure how to edit sources.list. This time the
lack of Inrelease and Release file didn't stop me. Copy the .iso files, mount
them, tell apt allow-insecure=yes, tell it again
(Acquire::AllowInsecureRepositories "true"; in 00trustcdrom), don't let all the
warning messages to stop me, and it appears to work.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I think treating this install as a minimal net (CD) would work better. That is,
I tried that once during the bookworm testing, and files not in the installer
volume are then downloaded.
And thanks.
