Oh well, that at least tells me what 3.0rn means. That's something, little though it is. > And I _think_ the third point release has been put off because of > sarge. So ... ?? Look, the issue WAS "testing" vs "unstable". Some people think that not only the decision but its implementation is a simple matter. It isn't. My ISP does what many do - set up a multiple mirror site for the use of its members. Debian is included. I'd like to start up a Debian "testing" system from an install CD - I gather you can't do this for the "unstable" branch. In order to do this I really need jigdo - to just download a complete CD (or CDs) as I can with every other Linux distro or BSD, is de rigeur. BTW what is wrong with a clear major/minor dot numeric system, rather than woody/sarge/sid/potato/whatever=stable/testing/unstable(which is really quite stable anyway)/something ? MY ISP's relevant debian directories look like this: /debian-cd/hurd directory (four off) GNU-K4-CD1.iso (four off) hurd-J2-CD1.iso /debian-cd/images/current/i386/ directory (seven off) debian-30r2-i386-binary-1.iso /debian-cd/images/woody/i386/ directory (seven off) debian-30r2-i386-binary-1.iso debian-cd/jigdo/current/i386/ directory does NOT contain jigdo, but files like this: (seven off) woody-i386-1.jigdo (seven off) woody-i386-1.template Whither testing (sarge?) What does all this mean? And Monique and others think this is simple??? -- Regards, Brian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
