Point a web browser (or ftp client) to ftp://ftp.fsn.hu/pub/CDROM-Images/debian-unofficial and look in the woody/ directory for the list files & images. You can probably download the .list files & step through the procedure outlined in the documentation for the pseudo-image kit, but I haven't done that in quite some time. I just rsync my existing images against the ones on this site. I've attached a script that I use to update my images. It is just a bunch of rsync commands to update the images. After you get them all downloaded, and before you burn them to CD, be sure to check the md5sums on them. The first command in this script will download a file called md5sums. To compare the md5sums, I usually do something like this: $ md5sum woody-i386-?.raw > md5sums.local && diff md5sums md5sums.local If you get no output, then the images downloaded correctly, otherwise, you should probably run rsync again. Also, you may want to check the archives for the debian-cd list. Maybe there is more info there, but here is the last announcement I saw concerning this particular site on debian-cd: http://lists.debian.org/debian-cd-0010/msg00018.html HTH & Good Luck -- Morgan Terry mterry@acsbps.com
