Older images are available. Now that Wheezy 7.0 has released the
previous Squeeze 6.0 is now "older". These are available in archive
section. Here is a reference:
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/
Older full DVD isos are here (at least for now):
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/6.0.7/amd64/iso-dvd/
But if you follow my directions in the previous message for jigdo then
you can do the same thing again for these DVD images.
# apt-get install jigdo-file
$ mkdir jigdo-stuff
$ cd jigdo-stuff
$ jigdo-lite --noask http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/6.0.7/amd64/jigdo-dvd/debian-6.0.7-amd64-DVD-1.jigdo
$ ls -ldog debian-6.0.7-amd64-DVD-1.iso
-rw-rw-r-- 1 4635574272 May 8 15:30 debian-6.0.7-amd64-DVD-1.iso
I've used jigdo in the past, when I've wanted install DVD or CD images,
but now use the netinstalls.
Jigdo still has it's place though, and is a very good tool. I did find
some of the command line options confusing at first (this was a few
years back).
I wonder if it might be worth making an even simpler front-end for just
downloading (and burning) Debian DVDs?
The command could be something like:
jigdvd --rel=6.0.7 --arch=amd64 --dvd=1 /dev/dvd
where --rel= (or -r) defaults to latest, --arch= (or -a ) defaults to
current arch and --dvd= (or -d) defaults to 1. There could be a --noburn
option to create the .iso without burning, and possibly a menu of
available images if noting is specified on the command line.
Just pondering out loud here, that's all.
