Traditional Debian Distribution 2004-09-07 (Sarge)


Debian Root 2004-09-07 [MD5] is a traditional linux root file system from the Debian (Sarge) distribution for ADS embedded computer systems.

Initrd for Debian Root 2004-09-07 [MD5] is an initial ramdisk that is needed to bootstrap the Debian root file system.

The shell script, debian_install, can be run on a Linux system and will install a kernel, the root file system and the initrd (initial ramdisk) on a hard drive such as an Hitachi Microdrive (TM) or an external USB drive. The script reformats the hard drive and creates three partitions:
    1) kernel and initial ramdisk
    2) swap space
    3) EXT3 root file system

README-install.txt is a text file that describes the use of the debian_install shell script and provides notes regarding the root file system, initrd, etc.

README.txt contains more detailed information on the traditional Debian root filesystem as well as the ramdisk, jffs2 and cramfs distributions in this 2004-09-07 release.
