Is there anywhere I can download really, really ancient debian images. I
need potato or older (i386). I'd like a mountable disk image.

I have no idea if debootstrap supports this, I haven't tried (yet), I
was hoping there was somewhere I could download an image.

This is to build some ancient software. I've tried Jessie, which is the
oldest release I have images for but unfortunately that has e2fslibs-dev
1.42 while the software will not build with e2fslibs >1.19.

The oldest backups I still have go back to 2006 which, sadly, is way too
modern. Checking the potato release information says security updates
were discontinued in 2003. I switched from Redhat to Debian around that
time so I'm likely not to have had any backups for potato anyway
although I did at least boot it at that time.

Tim.
