Re: How to get Woody on an Off-line computer?
To quote Preben Randhol <randhol@pvv.org>,
# I have a computer at home which is not connected to the internet (no
# modem, ISDN etc). I want woody on this machine as all new packages
# require libc6 2.2.x and X 4.0 and I need the latest versions of some
# packages. I downloaded the unofficial CDs (made 01-01-2001) from
# ftp.fsn.hu and took them with me to install. But unfortunately those
do
# not contain libc6 2.2.x only 2.1.3 as far as I could find out. So I
was
# wondering if it is possible to make woody CD-s oneself (without too
much
# fuzz) or if there is another way?
#
# I know I can just get the libc6 deb file, but there are a lot of
# dependancies that I would have to trackdown as well so I don't think
# that would be easy, unless somebody has a trick :-)
#
# Thanks in advance for any help.

# PS: Is there set any deadline for woody as of now?
Just to let you know, Woody isn't unstable any more - it's "testing". It
has glibc-2.2 now, but it still doesn't have XFree 4.0.2. You'll need to
get Sid to get all the latest stuff.
You might want to consider making your own CD. There are kits available
at http://cdimage.debian.org ; I think what you're looking for is under
"I want to burn/press numerous CDs to sell/give away" -> "I want to
burn/press my own customized CDs, with a subset of Debian packages,
other interesting programs, etc." In other words,
http://http://cdimage.debian.org/ch32.html , I think.
I'm not sure if it works with Woody or Sid, but I imagine it could be
modified accordingly.
