Hi, I have downloaded the .iso image of Sarge CD#1. Even though I have set the first boot device to boot from is my CD-Drive(in my BIOS setting). It is not booting from CD-Drive. I went to the ./install dir of this CD#1 and cannot see any files I can run to make it boot from the CD-Drive or how to start this CD#1 ? My CD-Drive is /dev/hdd Current running Woody and would like to migrate to Sarge. I tried apt-get dist-upgrade but my /usr partition is not big enough. So have to do a re-partition etc. So pls help ? - Rathon
Do you have another machine you can test the CD with?If you have an older CD-ROM drive, it might not be able to read/boot from a burned CD.
If you're lacking space in /usr, how is booting from a Sarge CD going to help? Are you planning on wiping/repartitioning/resizingpartitions/reinstalling, or what?
If you have lots of space elsewhere, you can move a subdirectory of /usr, such as /usr/local or /usr/X11 to that empty space, and create a symlink to it, like so:
# mv /usr/local /freespace # ln -s /freespace /usr/local This will free up some space on /usr. -- Kent
