Here's the way I created my (working) i386 images on a Linux-system (Potato, 
rev. 0):

First I downloaded the .list-files for the i386-images from 
http://cdimage.debian.org/cd-images/2.2_rev3/i386/. I also downloaded the 
file MD5SUMS from the same directory. Then I moved all files to my 
pseudo-image-kit-2.0-directory.

Then I used the following commands to create the images for 
binary-i386-1_NONUS as an example (btw: wget should be installed on your 
machine as the ncftp-package delivered with former Potato-revisions didn't 
work correctly):

./make-pseudo-image binary-i386-1_NONUS.list http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian

mv pseudo-image binary-i386-1_NONUS.iso

rsync --verbose --stats --block-size=8192 
ftp.uk.debian.org::debian-cd/2.2_rev3/i386/binary-i386-1_NONUS.iso . (DON'T 
FORGET THAT FINAL DOT!!!)

md5sum binary-i386-1_NONUS.iso

If the now calculated md5-sum shown on your screen corresponds with the one 
written down in the file MD5SUMS for the same binary you should have a 
working CD-image. Now you can burn your cd using for example the command 
"nice --18 cdrecord -eject -v speed=6 dev=0,3,0 -data -pad 
binary-i386-1_NONUS.iso".

Or if you just wan't to test the image you could mount it to e. g. /cdrom 
using the command "mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 
binary-i386-1_NONUS.iso /cdrom".


HTH,
Stefan

some time I take them out again, add some new features and _reuse_ them.
