correct-i386-2 proved useless.
Hello,
I hope to be mailing the right address. Since my problem regards the making
of a debian 2.2r0 CD image and I found this address on the FAQ page of
cdimage.debian.org, I hope I'm right. If I am not, please tell me where I
should write for help. :-)
I am a debian 2.2r0 would be user (Win98SE user), and I'm trying to make my
own official debian CD images. With binary-i386-1_NONUS.iso it all worked
fine. I have problems with binary-i386-2.iso
I downloaded it once with the pseudo-image kit from
ftp.flashnet.it/pub/ftp.debian.org and ftp3.linux.it and then tryed using
the rsync on ftp.at.debian.org
When the process reached 99% (4096 bytes less than 100%) it stopped saying
"Wrong file size. File changed during transfer?" or something very similar
to it.
I tried rsync-ing again, and got the same result. I then changed rsync
server (main german one), but it didn't change the result. Finally I went
to ftp.debian.org and resync-ed with it. No change: same "wrong file size"
at the same 99%.
I thought something went wrong, so I deleted the pseudo-image (with a lot
of sadness) and started it all from scratch (on my 64K single ISDN line).
Rsync-ed then with ftp.debian.org and got the same result of before.
I then wondered if this was the error noted on lastmin.html regarding the
"one bit" problem of one package... even if it wasn't a md5sum error, but a
"wrong file size" error of 4096 bytes. Just to try I applied the
correct-i386-2 and I got "Corrected" message.
Then I md5sum-ed it and... got the _same_ sum I had _before_ applying the
patch, which is different from the one listed on
http://cdimage.debian.org/cd-images/2.2_rev0/i386/MD5SUMS and is exactly this:
6e894313e3cb4cfb91da170675a9fdad
Know that I have free space on my HD to make the CD image, so it is not a
problem of not enough space to write the image (as I thought yesterday
night thinking of this problem :-)).
I hope these data will help you help me solve this problem... hoping not to
have to download it from scratch again...
I have a final question, regarding the FAQ. It says I only need the first
binary CD, since the other two are optional. Well, the dselect-beginner
guide says that I should make a multi_cd installation and avoid the single
cd installation. Could you explain me this mismatch, please? :-)
I really hope we can solve my problem. :-)
Best regards,
Luca Santarelli
