Re: etch-m68k netinst CD ?

[Laurent Vivier <Laurent@Vivier.EU>]

Hi,

thank you for this complete answer.

I found the ISO here:

http://people.debian.org/~smarenka/d-i/m68k/cds/daily/debian-etch-m68k-m68k-netinst.iso

and did a bootable one here:

http://vivierlaurent.free.fr/Debian_etch-m68k_netinst.iso

It seems as I add a file inside, the "check CDROM" menu entry of the installer fails. But the installation seems to be OK (it hangs at the end when it configures APT, but I had the same issue using aranym).

Regards,
Laurent
