Hello
I tried to install from the sarge install iso. It failed when
'anna' tries to grep the file /cdrom/dists/stable/Release.
This is because in the 'dists' directory on the cdrom, there is a
_file_ named 'stable', not a symlink to 'sarge'.
The 'sarge' directory entry _is_ a directory, with lots of
eagerly-anticipated udebs in it :).
The md5sum for the .iso is a5eae5885ddf3bb523b46dd1c19fc8dd
which matches entry in the MD5SUMS file,
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/netinst/i386/beta-1/sarge-i386-netinst.iso
dated 09-Nov-2003 16:43
I sucked down the .iso with wget on linux (debian stable) and burned
it with 'cdrw' on Solaris8. I don't know if it's the burning
software, or the installer kernel misinterpreting the iso9660
filesystem structure.
The kernel loaded the ide-cd and isofs kernel modules ok.
The arguments to cdrw were
cdrw -C -v -i sarge-i386-netinst.iso
Loopback-mounting the .iso under linux, the symlinks are ok.
This may cause problems for people, so is it possible to either:
* hack anna to try /cdrom/dists/sarge/Release
if /cdrom/dists/stable/Release can't be found,
or
* provide hints about burning .isos so that symlinks are preserved?
Regards
Vince

hello,
sarge is about to be released,
your bug report refers to an _very_ old d-i version,
please try out newer debian installer:
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/
if you are still having above named problems (very unlikely),
please reopen bug.
anyways thanks for your bug report.
