installation from jigdo image
I am posting some messages I sent to the Debian User list in hopes that
someone here can help me.
--------------
About a month ago I created a CD image for a 2.4.x installation, which
image I created using jigdo.
Regardless,? today, I attempted to do an installation from the CD, which
started out fine, but then when I got to the part, I think it was,
?install modules and drivers,? it asked me for access to a file.
Unfortunately, I don?t remember the name of the file or the default
location it was trying to locate it in, but my question is: why? Do I
need to also burn some files and directories to the installation CD?
And, how could that be possible, if the CD is burned as an image? Or,
am I completely missing something.

OK, I reburned another CD, but still no go. Here's the exact detail.
I get to a point early in the install where it asks, "Install Kernel &
Driver Modules"
Hitting enter, I choose to install from a CDROM, as the other choices
are not valid in my situation.
I then have the option of choosing from a list of directories or typing
in the appropriate directory. I permit the installation program to
search for the directory itself. It looks for the following:
"images-1.44/rescue.bin "
And then comes back that it can't find "rescue.bin, drivers.tgz"
Without the kernel I can't do anything, right?

So, I go to the CD FAQ. And what do I find:
"The packages on the CDs are sorted by popularity: CD 1 contains the
installation system and the most popular packages. CD 2 contains
slightly less popular ones, CD 3 even less popular ones, etc. You will
probably not need CD 3 and higher unless you have very special
requirements. (And in case you happen to need a package later on which
is not on one of the CDs you downloaded, you can always install that
package directly from the Internet.)"
So, I used Jigdo and I got 3 files. Are you saying each is for a
separate CD? I see nothing on the FAQ about what I'm supposed
to do with these images and how to install.
