<p>This page contains historic last-minute information regarding official
Debian CD images.</p>
<p>Information on installation issues for releases after those listed below
is available from the <q>installation information</q> page for each release.
For the current stable release, this information can be found
<a href="$(HOME)/releases/stable/debian-installer/">here</a>.</p>

<release-notes title="Official Debian 4.0 rev0" version="4.0 rev0">
<p>If you install from CD-ROM or DVD and also choose to use a network
mirror during the installation, there is a possibility that after the
installation there will be lines referring to <q>sarge</q> instead
of <q>etch</q> in the file <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt>.<br />
This can only happen if the mirror you selected is not up-to-date
and still has sarge as the stable release. Users installing etch
from CD/DVD shortly after the release are recommended to check their
<tt>sources.list</tt> file after the installation and replace
<q>sarge</q> with <q>etch</q> if needed.</p>

<release-notes title="Official Debian 3.1 rev6" version="3.1 rev6">
<p>A bug was discovered in the 3.1r6 installation CD/DVD images:
installations would fail immediately due to a missing <q>oldstable</q>
symbolic link. However, the update CD/DVD images work correctly.</p>
<p>This issue was resolved in the 3.1r6a images.</p>
</release-notes>
# ------------------------------------------------------------
<release-notes title="Official Debian 3.1 rev5" version="3.1 rev5">
<p>During installations for the architectures i386, hppa, ia64 and
s390, the installer may select an incorrect kernel for your system.<br />
You can work around this issue by booting the installer with the parameter
<tt>debconf/priority=medium</tt>. This will result in a full list of
available kernels being shown, from which you can manually select the flavor
that is appropriate for your system.</p>
<p>Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause; we expect to fix
this issue for r6.</p>

<release-notes title="Official Debian 3.1 rev3" version="3.1 rev3">
<p>CD#1 contains extra files that should have been deleted, but
were missed when releasing 3.1r3. This causes two problems:</p>
<ul>
<li>The kernel installed using these images will, in some cases,
not be the latest kernel on the CD, but rather the previous
version. Update the kernel specifically after installation and
all should be fine.</li>
<li>As the extra files on CD#1 take up extra space, some of the
normal installation tasks will no longer fit there. If you want
to install all the tasks from CD only, you will need to use CD#2
as well.</li>
</ul>
<p>Apologies for any hassle this may cause; we expect to fix this
issue for r4. DVD images and network installs should not be
affected.</p>

<p>The original 2.2rev4 CDs for the powerpc architecture
were not bootable. They were regenerated - the resulting
2.2rev4.1 release does not differ from 2.2rev4 except on
powerpc.</p>\

<dt><strong>Official Debian 2.2 rev3</strong></dt>

<p>Toshiba laptops are reported to have problems booting off the CDs
because their BIOS
<a href="https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0104/msg01326.html">cannot
handle</a> 2.88MB boot images. The easiest way to start installing
Debian on these machines is by running <tt>boot.bat</tt> from the
<tt>install/</tt> directory of the Binary-1 CD.</p>
<p>Not all packages from section <q>contrib</q> are included on the CDs,
since they depend on non-free packages that are also not on the CDs.</p>
<p>The problems with the <tt>gpm</tt> text-mode mouse driver have still
not been resolved. See in the <q>2.2 rev0</q> section below for more
info.</p>
</dd>
# ------------------------------------------------------------
<dt><strong>Official Debian 2.2 rev2</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Not all packages from section <q>contrib</q> are included on
the CDs, since they depend on non-free packages that are
also not on the CDs.</p>
<p>The problems with the <tt>gpm</tt> text-mode mouse
driver have still not been resolved. See in the <q>2.2 rev0</q>
section below for more info.</p>
</dd>
# ------------------------------------------------------------
<dt><strong>Official Debian 2.2 rev1</strong></dt>
<dd><p>No CD images were created for the 2.2 rev1
release.</p></dd>
# ------------------------------------------------------------
<dt><strong>Official Debian 2.2 rev0</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Not all packages from section <q>contrib</q> are included on the CDs,
since they depend on non-free packages that are also not on the CDs.</p>
<p><strong>i386</strong>: There are some issues with the <tt>gpm</tt>
text-mode mouse driver while running the X Window System. The easiest
solution is to remove the line
<tt>repeat_type=<em><something></em></tt> from
<tt>/etc/gpm.conf</tt>, running <q><tt>/etc/init.d/gpm restart</tt></q>
and then restart X. Other solutions are possible, ask the
<a href="mailto:gpm@packages.debian.org">gpm maintainer</a> to supply
more documentation.</p>
<p><strong>i386</strong>: The previously available Binary-2 CD image had
a one-bit problem that prevented the package <q><tt>pdksh</tt></q> from being
installed. Repairing your own image is very easy with the
<a href="https://cdimage.debian.org/~costar/correct_cds/correct-i386-2.c">correct-i386-2.c</a>
program.</p>
<p>Thanks to <a href="mailto:kteague@sprocket.dhis.net">Ken Teague</a>
we also have a precompiled
<a href="https://cdimage.debian.org/~costar/correct_cds/correct-i386-2.zip">Windows
version</a>; usage: extract the <tt>.zip</tt> in the dir where the
<tt>binary-i386-2.iso</tt> file is sitting, then in a DOS box change to
that directory and give the command <q><tt>correct-i386-2
binary-i386-2.iso</tt></q>.</p>
<p>If you have a CD-ROM, which you obviously cannot repair, the easiest
option to get <tt>pdksh</tt> is to
<a href="http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386/shells/pdksh_5.2.14-1.deb">download
it</a> (212 kB) and install with <q><tt>dpkg -i pdksh_5.2.14-1.deb</tt></q>.
But you can also copy the file from the CD to a temporary directory and
use the same
<a href="https://cdimage.debian.org/~costar/correct_cds/correct-i386-2.c">correct-i386-2.c</a>
program, but then you should modify it so that <tt>POS</tt> is
<tt>0x64de</tt>.</p>
<p><strong>PowerPC</strong>: The powerpc Binary-1_NONUS and Binary-3 CD
images are also plagued by a one-bit problem, preventing
<q><tt>smbfs</tt></q> and <q><tt>gimp-manual</tt></q> respectively from being
installed. Repaired versions are (slowly) propagating to the mirrors,
but you can repair your own images very easily with the
<a href="https://cdimage.debian.org/~costar/correct_cds/correct-powerpc-1_NONUS.c">correct-powerpc-1_NONUS.c</a>
and
<a href="https://cdimage.debian.org/~costar/correct_cds/correct-powerpc-3.c">correct-powerpc-3.c</a>
programs. These also contain information on repairing the affected
packages individually when copied from CD (which is especially useful
for the 15MB-sized <q><tt>gimp-manual</tt></q>).</p>
<p><strong>Sparc</strong>: The 2.2 rev0 CDs have a problem when booting
from the Binary-1 CD. This has been solved in the 2.2 rev0a (or
2.2_rev0_CDa) version of the sparc CDs.</p>
<p>Sparc: If X does not start correctly, and the error message mentions
the mouse, and you are <em>not</em> running the <tt>gpm</tt> text-mode
mouse driver, <q><tt>rm -f /dev/gpmdata</tt></q> might help.</p>
<p><strong>Alpha</strong>: The 2.2 rev0 CDs may prove problematic when
booting from the Binary-1 CD. To solve that, boot with <q><tt>-flags
i</tt></q>, then enter at the aboot prompt:
<br />
<tt> aboot> b /linux
initrd=/boot/root.bin root=/dev/ram</tt>
<br />
This problem has been corrected in the 2.2 rev0a (or 2.2_rev0_CDa)
version of the alpha CDs.</p>
