Humm, I dont have that problem and my CD#1 disk builds ok.
I use the this in cd1.list (same as in cve):
dists/potato/main/disks-ARCH
dists/potato/main/upgrade-*ARCH*/
doc
README.*
tools
You will get unmet-dependancies, and therefor
you need to set force_deps in the arch file.
- 1 the potato archive has unmet dependancies (as of today)
if you used the cvs copy of debian-cd and turned on
force deps, and turned off boot (no potato boot disks),
you should be able to to get through with only
two programs showing unmet dependencies.
Package: mikmod
libmikmod2
Package: timidity
alsalib0.3.0
Thats today...tomorrow ???
- 2 the boot disks in potato, are just a link to slink,
and they will do you no good with glibc2.1, so no
reason to even include the "boot" option in your
arch file. Of course this means that the disk you
create will only be good to do upgrades from
an existing slink system to potato.
Should I be putting the local/binary-* lines in
> one of the other potato/ files?
Local files were being added in cd2.extras . I cant think
why you could not add them to cd1.list ... although I
have not tried it.
If I remember, you were using the sym-link method, most
likely because of disk space....I am no help to you there
as I have not tried that way of building images.
Hope this helps....
