Re: Debian unstable DVD-s
Nedavno Albert Dengg pise:

| unstable...
|

| install multiple installs, in which case you could also use some sort

Yes, I knew that. But then when I need to install something new (and I
do from time to time) I end up needing to download lots of MB (one
package depends on other, and so on...) Not practical on dial-up. And I
can not bother my friend every time, or take my desktop to a coffee shop
(and they do not have Internet connection where I am).
So the most practical is to download everything once a year, or, as I
found now, ask someone to download and burn DVD-s for me for a small
fee (check here http://www.discountlinuxdvd.com/debian.htm 4 DVD set for
just $7.00). I asked this guy, and he is willing to download and burn
DVD-s for me. I just have to mail him a link where from he can download
Debian sid.
| however, you can download the jigdo files for testing from here:
| http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/#which
|
| (you will also find a description on how to do it there)
I know about jigdo, I used it last year, but now whoever was
responsible for creating .jigdo and .template files for unstable / sid
stopped updating files:
ftp://ftp.fsn.hu/pub/CDROM-Images/debian-unofficial/sid-dvd/jigdo/
I found some German sites offering Debian sid DVD-s but for ~$35. So it
is possible to get sid, and I am just asking here if anyone knows how
to do that.
