Debian 9.7 , Downloading issue

[Muhammad Owais]

Hi

Hope you are fine and doing well. I am having a problem. I couldn't find
the page from where I can download the Debian 9.7 Complete 3 DVD set.

Please help me in this regard.

Thank you

Hi,

I couldn't find the
page from where I can download the Debian 9.7 Complete 3 DVD set.

Choose your CPU type from
https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/9.7.0/
E.g.
https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/9.7.0/amd64/jigdo-dvd/


Have a nice day :)

Hi,

i'm Cc-ing the mailing list debian-***@lists.debian.org again.
Please don't expect that i reply to private mails or keep them private,
unless your mail contains a good reason why it shall stay private.

As I found the DVD over here I need the 9.7 version link that I couldn't
find.
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/9.13.0/amd64/bt-dvd/

It seems there is no BitTorrent offer for 9.7.0.
You will have to use Jigdo and the files in
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/9.7.0/amd64/jigdo-dvd/

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JigdoDownloadHowto

This, or
- the "How to download an image with jigdo" in
https://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/
which points to
https://www.einval.com/~steve/software/jigdo/
- the Jigdo part of the wider description how to download Jigdo ISOs if
you have no system which can provide the "jigdo-lite" program:
https://wiki.debian.org/JigdoOnLive#Install_package_jigdo-file
up to "Verify the downloaded ISOs".

Of course you will have to enter the appropriate URLs for 9.7.0 amd64.
In any case:
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/9.7.0/amd64/jigdo-dvd/debian-9.7.0-amd64-DVD-1.jigdo
The checksum files are at
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/9.7.0/amd64/jigdo-dvd/SHA512SUMS
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/9.7.0/amd64/jigdo-dvd/SHA512SUMS.sign

Depending on the age of your jigdo-lite program, you will have to download
the .jigdo file manually and also the .template file:
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/9.7.0/amd64/jigdo-dvd/debian-9.7.0-amd64-DVD-1.template
The reason is given n
https://wiki.debian.org/JigdoOnLive#If_needed.2C_work_around_a_shortcoming_of_older_jigdo-lite

The same applies to downloading DVD-2 and DVD-3.


Have a nice day :)

Hi,

However there is still an issue if I am a windows user how can I use Jigdo.

Steve McIntyre, a Debian Developer who is in charge for debian-cd, offers
binaries for MS-Windows:
https://www.einval.com/~steve/software/jigdo/download/jigdo-win-0.8.1.zip
If you have PGP, you may verify it by the associated key:
https://www.einval.com/~steve/software/jigdo/download/jigdo-0.8.1.tar.xz.sig
See also the "Downloads" paragraph on
https://www.einval.com/~steve/software/jigdo/


Alternatively you may first download a Debian Live ISO via https, put it
on DVD or USB stick or run it in a virtual machine, and then use it to
download the desired debian-cd ISOs.
See
https://wiki.debian.org/JigdoOnLive

(Lacking experience with non-GNU/Linux systems i cannot well describe how
to get access to a writable filesystem on the hard disk of your normal
operating system. If this imposes difficulties, you will have to ask at
mailing list debian-***@lists.debian.org or at places where a mix of
other operating systems and GNU/Linux is on topic.)


Have a nice day :)
