[WOODY] Need sugestion for Floppy-Install
Hello,
I am working since 03/1999 with Debian successfuly. For some month
I have lost my last Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Workstation (I have
never had Win32) by a lightning-stroke and now I am M$-Free.
I am working on a very difficult Job in near east ans need the
Floppy-Installation.
For SLINK 2.1r5 it was no problem... 7 Base-Floppys and 73 Packages
Floppys.
Now I have tried it with WOODY but it does not work because
dpkg-scanpackages...
The Version of SLINK was supporting the X-Medium Flag and if I have
registerd all Floppys apt-get was asking about the numbered Floppy.
Now in WOODY it does not work anymore...
OK, I can register all Floppys, but when I install somthing, it tell
me to put the Floppy in... I habe 140 Floppys - Where ist the *.deb ?
The Other thing I have tried is to make the whole Directory tree, a
Packages- and Release-File and add the 'X-Medium: ' manualy to it.
Unfortunately the 'X-Medium:' is not recognised by WOODY.
Question:
=========
Is there a solution like the CD-Rom Installation which ask for a
numberd Medium ? or must I port dpkg-scanpackages for WOODY ?
Maybe staticaly linked ??`?
I was thinking to make for each Floppy a Packages- and Release-File
and put all 280 Files in a Package which installs in /var/lib/apt/lists
So no one must make the DJ after installing the BASE to register the
other 114 Floppys...
Thanks in advance
Michelle
