[Fwd: RSYNC issues]

Hello Anne, anyone else,

I tried to burn the ISO again.  What you said made sense.  But I
ended,with the same result.  I get a "cant find sector error" when
trying to view the dir of the CD. I am burning to a 700mb CD but that
doesn't seem like it should matter.  The ISO burns to 628 mb on CD  the
ISO on the,Windows HD shows as 631mb.  Is it just that windows cant read
the CD,disk?  That seems too unlikely.

Concerning Pseudo image Kit 2.0:
I tried make-pseudo-image from my house where I have good bandwidth.
After running the command: 

I:\>make-pseudo-image binary-i386-1.list ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian

I ended up with a ~9mb file pseudo image.  I checked the error log and,
there were two errors concerning readme files but nothing else.  The
dowload log showed all the files as downloaded at a total much
greater,than 9mb (or so it seemed! I didnt add it all up yet).  No
errors,there.  But somthing sure seems flakey.  I am running RSYNC
against it, just to see what happens.  This is the second time I had
problems with,make-pseudo-image also...

Am I inept or are others having problems? :-)
Regards,
Allen
