I used to build them myself and burn my own CDR discs. It was similar with
RedHat. You could download all the files to make your own iso images and
discs, but they also had "official" discs available (with a small book and
technical support) if you wanted to spend a good bit of money on them. I
still have many of those discs, but they are currently tucked away in my
500 disc cdrom jukebox which doesn't have a computer attached to it right
now, so it will be awhile before I can retrieve them (I'm on the hunt for
a specific type of embedded computer to replace the old desktop computer
that I formerly used to operate the jukebox).
Anyone have archived CD's or ISOs of Debian
Slink and Potato and Corel
Linux releases and sources...
The Debian project maintains archives of all of the earlier releases.
For ISOs of releases of Woody (3.0) and later, assemble them via jigdo
from the metadata at http://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/
http://archive.debian.org/debian-archive/debian/dists/ contains packages
for even earlier versions, but I couldn't find any obvious ISOs when I
did a cursory look around. I don't believe that the earliest versions
even had an official CD release.
I also have Debian 2.0 media in front of me and can upload images if you
can't already find them online. I probably have other versions too but
that involves peering into the Abyss Of Antique Media which I don't
quite fancy doing right now ;)
