Reverting Debian to its minimal boot-strap version
G'day... I've been installing Debian now for the third time. Mainly because I want test and learn new debian set ups (ie ext2, reiserFS etc...)
However, each time I usually re-install Debian (3.0) from 1st cd then do the rest thru ftp. 1- is there a way to revert Debian back to its minimal boot-strap version? a kind of uninstall? 2- when at this state, is it possible to access my cdrw, thru shell prompt? The reason for the 2nd question is for me to be able to download then burn 3.1/sarge/sid cd images... cheers |

2) You will have uninstalled cdrecord if you ever installed it to start with so you would want to make sure that you have the package still on the system. Then you can use cdrecord -v -eject speed=8 dev=0,0,0 sarge.iso, assuming that your burner is the first scsi emulated device (dev=0,0,0) of course changing the speed= to what you want to burn. To setup the scsi emulation you need to edit the file /etc/lilo.conf and have a line similar to this. Code:
append="hdc=ide-scsi" |

Looks like you are trying to open with dev=/dev/sg0 you should only be trying to use the dev=0,0,0 or 1,0,0 ie. numbers only as you have below. Quote:
