Re: Instalação em Português (Era Potato now Stable)



Enquanto o pessoal da Debian não disponibiliza os disquetes de 
inicialização e raíz internacionalizados, eu deixei disponível 
o sistema de instalação estável compilado em Português em: 

ftp://ftp2.escelsanet.com.br/debian/binary-i386 

Lá estão disponíveis todas as imagens de disco exceto os dos disquetes
de 1.2MB e imagens El Torino de 2.88 MB. Baixem e distribuam por ai :-)

Abraços
