I have poured over the .org site and search engines for hours. Release CD iso's Lenny (5.x.x) seems to be not available. I know 6.0 has superceded it but I really want to configure a dev virtual server with the exact same release as our live server I'm taking over. Is 6.0 functionally the same? The archives simply ignore Lenny altogether and I can not find anything other than net iso's which are problematic with the VM's (virtualbox seems to need a CD iso to boot from). Any input is appreciated as I hate to waste any setup time with the dozens of other installs to match the live server...

This may be what you are looking for;

http://debian.mirror.iweb.ca/debian-...8/ia64/iso-cd/

If you are 32bit you might try editing the /ia64/ part of that address.

will go grab that now...

That link is a link to images for the IA64 architecture. These images will not run on any x86 computer, it is meant for the Itanium processor. If you want to use 64 bit, go for amd64, even if you have an Intel CPU.

Shortening the address a bit brought this which may be better;
http://debian.mirror.iweb.ca/debian-cd/5.0.8/

Hi all,

yeah, just played with the address and found the i386 32 bit directory for 5.0.3 which is what I needed to match the live instsll. Thanks again!
