  • Please provide a new disc target: 100 GB M-Disc / full Debian ISO for D

    From Alexey Eromenko@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jan 17 18:50:01 2021
    I'm using 100 GB M-Discs for offline Debian installation. This big ISO
    image is also useful for 128 GB Flash Disks / DoKs.

    I don't ask for HTTP download, if it's difficult, but a jigdo image.

    Thanks in advance,

    As a member of the team testing CD images: it's quite hard to generate / test the 16G iso and the BD disks in a reasonable amount of time. There's a sense
    of diminishing returns beyond BD1 size. If you really need to generate
    machines offline with _everything_ available, we already have the Double layer blue ray disks as .jigdo files.

    The question of what images are needed and worthwhile to generate is generally chatted over with every point release. Perhaps a wishlist request for Bullseye?

    Just my 0.02

    Not only for Bullseye, but minor update like 10.8 / 10.9 can include
    it too. As it's a non-regression for existing users. And I can test
    the ISO images of 100 gig size. (I just have no clue how to generate
    them)

    besides, from a human perspective, it would be very nice to have a
    full debian (for amd64 arch) on one physical disc.
