Hi all,
Thank you for making the RC2 available. Please CC me while replying as
I'm not subscribed to the list.
I'm trying to download the RC2 DVD 1 via jigdo . I looked at the jigdo
file time-stamp which is given as 18:13
on 23rd April 2012 .
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/wheezy_di_rc2/amd64/jigdo-dvd/
I'm using http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20130423T153728Z/
as the debian mirror link as it's nearest one on both as far as time
is concerned . As it shows four timestamps when snapshots were made :-
2013-04-23 03:43:21
2013-04-23 09:34:59
2013-04-23 15:37:28
2013-04-23 21:46:56
As can be seen I have chosen the 3rd in the list.
I'm getting a few 404 file not found messages hence asking if I have
taken the wrong one or something.
Looking forward to guidance.
Here are some of the 404's as given :-
Merging parts from `file:' URIs, if any...
Found 0 of the 235 files required by the template
Copied input files to temporary file
`debian-wheezy-DI-rc2-amd64-DVD-1.iso.tmp' - repeat command and supply
more files to continue
