Hi I'd like to run a network installation setup on my LAN. With previous versions I could just take a Debian Installer CD (e.g.: the netinst) and loopmount it to get the initial files. This provides me most of the required files.
The problem is that the installer CDs no longer contain signed images. I'd like to avoid any hacks with configuring a system to use unsigned sources as at least with Etch this affected the usability later on. How do I make a compact partial Debian mirror? I don't have the extra disk space and network bandwidth[1] for a full mirror. [1] Well, I do. But it would be a waste of time and disk space and complicate the setup. I want to have a mirror that contains all the packages in my default install, so I won't need to re-download them from the Internet every time. But downloading a few gigs every once in a while to maintain the mirror is not something I want either. -- Tzafrir Cohen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849754 | | friend -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
