Please, pseudo-image help needed!
Hello all.
I'm new to this list so please excuse me if I'm asking silly question or a question that you've alreade ansvered. I checked the maillist archive at www.debian.org and did not find answer for my question.
Currently I'm running FreeBSD 4.0 as my internet/mail server and I'd also like to try Debian on another computer to compare them. So, as cdimage.debian.org offered me I downloaded pseudo image kit and started making of the CD image.
./make-pseudo-image binary-i386-1.list ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian
actually, the problem is that I intended to create not the official CD image by my custom CD.
I also added to this pseudo image the updates from ftp://security.debian.org.
So, of course the MD5 sum will not match and I do not want to run rsync. The question is "Can I create my custom CD image from existing pseudo-image file?". I checked the make-pseudo-image script and as I see the only thind it makes is
cat $DownloadedFile >> pseudo-image
so this file is only a binary string. if it is impossible to make a custom image from this file than can I extract the downloaded files from pseudo-image?
I have CD-writer on my Win 2000 box with adaptec easy cd creator.
Please, answer me if you can. I already downloaded 550 megs of data and do not want to lose it.
Thank you,
Nugzar Nebieridze
