Hi Martin!

If you want to create sarge images (like DVDs or CDs), you have
choice of two possible solutions: First you can pick some jigdo
files from

http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/dvd/jigdo-area/i386/

and then build the images out of them. As you tried with my woody
dvd images :-) This works quite fine and is possibly the easiest way.

Just a remark: I didn't know that you were using Windows to do so,
so there is a problem with big files >2GB and so downloading a DVD
image might not work. It's some time a go I visited Richards
website, but perhaps there is a newer version of jigdo for windows..

Second way (the one I use) is to greate the images out of a debian
mirror with debian-cd tools. But this is only a good idea if you
already have a mirror or are planning to build one - it takes much
more disk space.

You know: To err is human, effective mayhem requires root password.
