Re: NEEDED: not quite current buisnesscard and netinst iso images
Hi Richard,
Did you ever get this working for you?
Did you notice the "--scan" option to jigdo-lite? It might allow you
to use your DVD iso's to avoid downloading a lot of stuff you already
have. I seem to remember that internet bandwidth was a problem for you.
Note: I believe that the powers-that-be have decided that supporting
the "businesscard" images is not going to be done in the future. The
suggestion is to use "netinst" instead. It's not much bigger than
"businesscard" and it allows a fairly complete "minimal" installation
without requiring network access, which "businesscard" did not.
Enjoy!
Rick

Following suggestions given in response to "Wanted: an internet free
minimal Debian install" I wish to experiment with using netinst and
businesscard images to perform *NO NETWORK AVAILABLE* installs. As
what I currently have available is the 8 DVD set of Debian 6.0.5
[Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.5 "Squeeze" - Official i386 DVD Binary-1
20120512-13:45] , I need the matching netinst and businesscard
images. I can only find those matching 6.0.7. Due to internet
connectivity issues downloading downloading everything for another
release is not feasible. Purchasing another DVD set on hold until
wheezy is released.
Pointer please. TIA
