Hi, Sorry for disturbing again, I can't create a local mirror, I tryed many and many times . Help please
Here is what I have done: I create a local mirror for lenny ( just to test so I mirrored contrib i386 about 200 MB), here is the tree (remove some letter directories): I used the command apt-mirror the file contains /etc/apt/mirror.list deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian lenny contrib ###deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free here is the tree : debian225:/var/www# ls debian dists pool debian225:/var/www# tree -L 3 debian debian |-- dists | `-- lenny | |-- Contents-i386.gz | |-- Release | |-- Release.gpg | `-- contrib `-- pool `-- contrib |-- a |-- b |-- c |-- x `-- y 40 directories, 3 files I used the official netboot lenny thru PXE (dhcp) evrything is fine at boot from a remote client until the choice of the mirror to complete, If I choose an official one for example ftp://ftp.fr.debian.org/ then debian It runs fine if I choose my local repo : http://172.19.6.225/ then debian I get the error *bad archive error the specified archive mirror is either not available or doesn't have a valid Release!!!!!* The file Realease and Release.gpg are exactly the same as files in official repo, I check them !!! Is there a special thing to add to the installer ? here is the pxe directory debian225:/home# tree -L 3 /var/lib/tftpboot/ /var/lib/tftpboot/ |-- debian-installer | `-- i386 | |-- boot-screens | |-- initrd.gz | |-- linux | |-- pxelinux.0 | `-- pxelinux.cfg |-- pxelinux.0 -> debian-installer/i386/pxelinux.0 |-- pxelinux.cfg -> debian-installer/i386/pxelinux.cfg `-- version.info I add the line to apt.conf ?? APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated 1 ; to disable the test authencity (if any pb of Release.gpg ), not sure that it does something, because If I have to do something I have to do in /var/lib/tftpboot/debian-installer which contains the kernel cat /etc/apt/apt.conf I *http://172.19.6.225/debian/ gives correct directory:* Index of /debian [image: [ICO]]Name <http://172.19.6.225/debian/?C=N;O=D>Last modified <http://172.19.6.225/debian/?C=M;O=A>Size<http://172.19.6.225/debian/?C=S;O=A> Description <http://172.19.6.225/debian/?C=D;O=A> ------------------------------ [image: [DIR]]Parent Directory <http://172.19.6.225/> - [image: [DIR]] dists/ <http://172.19.6.225/debian/dists/>29-Sep-2009 11:23 - [image: [DIR]] pool/ <http://172.19.6.225/debian/pool/>29-Sep-2009 10:56 - ------------------------------ Ofcourse no README and other files, are not required normally.
