Well, since its looking like rain which we need badly, and I'm still barefoot but bandaged to the knees, I'm stuck playing. The linuxcnc people have a hybrid iso for 12.6, which should update to 12.7, so I've pulled it and burnt it to a dvd+rw.On 9/21/24 11:05, Andrew M.A. Cater wrote:On Sat, Sep 21, 2024 at 06:49:25AM -0400, gene heskett wrote:Hi all, attempting to obtain a netinstall for trixie ls of working directory: -rw-r--r-- 1 gene gene 46282 Sep 21 06:22 debian-testing-amd64-netinst.jigdo -rw-r--r-- 1 gene gene 149573718 Sep 21 06:23 debian-testing-amd64-netinst.template command issued and results after installing jigdo-file:(word wrapped by tbird)As others have said: you need to use jigdo-lite rather than jigdo-file.

It should then "just work" - I've just been doing exactly this to check. All the very best, as ever, Andrew Cater (amacater@debian.org)
But burning it, I spotted xfburn in the menu's, looks nice but when will it actually be able to burn an iso???
So I had to fall back to k3b which worked, once I had found the iso. The selection window is only 6 or so filenames tall, mouse wheel scrolls 50 names at a time, making, when there are 1000+ entries in my home dir, very frustrating. The right hand scroll buttons only work when they want to, so it took me >15 minutes to find the file & get the write started. k3b has existed in this condition of making it near impossible to find the iso to be burnt for what seems like a decade. Ingo can't be bothered to fix a huge usability problem.
I have 100 count spindles of every type of cd/dvd ever made, but have not stored them in closed, dark spaces. Long term exposure to the room lights apparently erases the ID track. The only type surviving a decade and still working as advertised is some sony brand dvd+rw's.
So when does xfburn grow erase/write abilities?
Thank you Andy, obviously jigdo-file was wrong command. already printed FFR. IMO the man pages suck, no obvious cross correlation to guide the user toward success. Needs at least a see also section at the bottom.gene@coyote:~/linuxcnc_trixie_install$ jigdo-file mi --template=debian-testing-amd64-netinst.template Found 0 of the 1001 files required by the template Will not create image or temporary file - try again with different input files What am I doing wrong? tnx.
