Howto use downloaded ISOs as a repository in Debian Instead of inserting (or even burning) multiple CDs to install software in debian you can just use the downloaded ISOs. This method assumes you are going to keep the ISOs and folders available, the ISOs will be mounted at boot time automatically and you will be able to install software from them at any time. Be sure to replace any instance of my-user-name with your username. First create a folder in /home/my-user-name/ called isos Now store all your downloaded isos in /home/my-user-name/isos/ and the isos are named debian1.iso debian2.iso debian3.iso I create three folders in my /home/my-user-name/isos/ directory called iso1, iso2, and iso3. I use my favorite text editor with root privileges to open /etc/fstab and add the following entries to the bottom of the file: Then add the following repositories to synaptic file:/home/my-user-name/isos/iso1 lenny main file:/home/my-user-name/isos/iso2 lenny main file:/home/my-user-name/isos/iso3 lenny main

8 of the best tiny Linux distros There are plenty of reasons for wanting a low-resource distro running on your computer. Maybe you have some ancient hardware that you need to breathe new life into. Perhaps you want something that will fit on a modestly sized memory stick. Or it might be that you want to run 200 virtual machines simultaneously on your desktop. The important things that we'll look at here are the amount of space needed, how much processing power is required to get the distro running at an acceptable level, and the effort required to get it to work. Something to bear in mind is that one of the ways in which developers are able to create slimmed down distros is by ditching the scripts and wizards that we've come to take for granted. Strict criteria The simple truth is that you'll be getting your fingers slightly grubbier with a low-resource distro than you would with a fully featured one. There's still plenty of activity in the area of low-resource distros, including WattOS, which we hope to cover next time.
