Yes, thanks. I have copied "debian-cd_info.tar.gz" into my local mirror.
Then did:
$ make official_images
The iso has generated:
user@xrig:~/Linstall/debian-cd-trunk$ ll
/vm/tmp_debian_cd_test/debian-6.0-amd64-DLBD-1.iso
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 33378797568 Jul 21 17:22
/vm/tmp_debian_cd_test/debian-6.0-amd64-DLBD-1.iso
33 GB in size, but not bootable. I tried on Qemu and on VBox.
Any ideas why ? (or how-to debug it?)
