[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

recently I downloaded a copy of Debian 8 dvd


I liked it and I wanted to download  Debian cd alos.

But while the dvd works ok the cds do not.

I also wanted to buy cds from some Indian vendor.

I wrote to the e-mail address given by you but

There are many variations. Can you tell which one from where ?
A complete URL like
  http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.5.0/amd64/iso-dvd/debian-8.5.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso
would be the best kind of answer.

The origin of the CD images is of interest like with the DVD image.

Further you would have to tell what you did with the downloaded ISOs:

Did you verify the ISOs by their checksums ?
  https://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#verify

How did the DVD get burned ? How the CDs ?

How do the CDs not work ?
I assume you expect the DVD and CDs to boot ai Debian operating system.
Only the number 1 of each set is supposed to do this.

I assume you mean
  https://www.debian.org/CD/vendors/
Most probably nobody checks whether listed vendors respond. If you
believe that the vendor gives Debian a bad name, consider this statement
  "If you are having trouble with a vendor (e.g. you paid for
   installation media but never received them), you can inform us
   by sending mail to debian-www@lists.debian.org."

Well, the most original and trustworthy source would of course be
the one who governs ISO production:
  http://www.einval.com/~steve/DebianCD/
Payment to and shipment from the United Kingdom. From and to India this
might impose some effort.

So i would advise to try downloading and burning own media.


Have a nice day :)

I'm not sure who or where you mean by "you".  You certainly haven't emailed 
me!  Assuming that Thomas is correct when he says "I assume you mean
  https://www.debian.org/CD/vendors/", there are three Indian vendors, all of 
whom have websites.  Why were you emailing and what were you asking?  The 
easiest way to buy CDs would seem to be to go to the relevant web-site.

You could always try emailing one of the two you haven't already emailed, if 
you were asking some other question.
