Debian Woody Download [EXCLUSIVE]

Contrary to our wishes, there may be some problems that exist in the woodyrelease, even though it is declared stable. We've madea list of the major known problems, and you can alwaysreport other issues to us.

I am going to write about debian 3.0r6, the last revision of so called Woody release. It was introduced in 2002. I could have chosen an older on, but i want to use KDE as well as OpenSSH, which both were introduced in 3.0.

Debian 3.0 will work on an 386 or 486 as well without problems or speed issues, depends on what you are doing with it. Starting Windows XP in a VM could bring it down on it's knees

For those old systems not able to boot debian offers floppies. I am writing about these in a later post.

Debian Project is maintaining an archive of old stuff. You can find 3.0r8 discs here:

_r6/i386/iso-cd/

Go there and just download first CD (debian-30r6-i386-binary-1.iso). Use this CD to boot your VM.

I am not posting every single step with a screenshot. Just read the instructions on screen, I'll cover the intersting part here.

He will ask if you want to get security updates from security.debian.org, but as 3.0 is totally outdated and not supported anymore, we have to say no. We will always get the latest state of the art by the time debian 3.0r8 was frozen. More won't come.

After this step a very long list of package names will roll down your screen and he asks if you really want to continue with downloading and installing. Say "Y".

At this moment debian archive download speed is something around 80kb/s, this takes a while for my package selection (~40minutes). Other times installing from debian archive this was much faster.

You can't rely on high-speed in an archive, for obvious reasons.

The reason for me to download and install debian 3.0 in first was to have an old KDE system.

This was the UI I had when I first had hands on Linux (~2001-2002), it was KDE1 on SuSE 6.3.

Sadly it looks like something does not work with my Vesa 800x600 setup in VM and KDE. On an old Laptop it works perfectly, so for now without KDE screenshots. I'll make some soon on the laptop.

Fluxbox

Another ancient, but still active, window manager. It was also used in "Damn Small Linux". It is so small and fast. And the look hasn't changed at all up to today. The "twice" color scheme is my preferred and it is the same.

The grey scheme is the default by debian 3.0r8.

The program there is a simulation program for electronics with a totally senseless diagram in it.

Following Pixar's Toy Story naming scheme, Debian's releases have been: buzz, rex, bo, hamm, slink, potato, woody, sarge, etch, lenny, squeeze, wheezy, jessie, stretch and now buster. Future releases will be bullseye and then bookworm.

It's caused by a missing shared library. One of the solutions istocreate a symlink in the 'libs' directory as described below: (Ref: =20&thread=132877&start=15&range=15&hilite=false&q=)

# ln -s libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.solibstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 (this is for debian woody, adapt the first argument to your ownneeds/distribution/lib-version) 17dc91bb1f
