[SOLVED] cd contents of debian

Piyush M · 06-13-2012, 11:36 PM

I am downloading debian-6.0.5-amd64-cd-2.iso now.

I am already having cd-1. I wanted to know that which software are included in cd-2 & cd-3 ?

And also tell me how to install specific software from cd-2 when cd is inserted in cd drive ?

I want to have both kde and gnome in my cd, does this 2 cds have it or I need to download more cds?

Can I have a list of all the packages contained in an image?

Yes. Look on cdimage.debian.org for the corresponding .list.gz file - it will list all the packages and source files included in the image. For Debian Live images, you can find in the same directory as the image files some similarly named files suffixed with .packages. Download these and then search them for the desired package name.

I am not getting what I want.

I want total list of softwares contained by cd 2.

I had to go to one of the mirrors directly to find the lists---here is one example:
http://debian.osuosl.org/debian-cdim.../i386/list-cd/
go up 2 levels to find other architectures.

Then you've misread, or havent read properly, or misnavigated.

Open 'cdimage.debian.org', then open the version you want (eg 'release'). Keep on going untill you have the version, version number and arch right (eg 'release/6.0.5/amd64'). Link for reference-

http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/release/6.0.5/amd64/

Down the bottom of that page you will see 'list-cd'. Open that, select theCD version you want to check (eg 'debian-6.0.5-amd64-CD-2.list.gz'). D/l and unzip the list.gz, it will give you a list of the software on that CD.
