The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Create A Debian Repository using the 7 instalation CD's

Asked by LordRipper in Linux Setup

Tags: debian, repository, cd

Hi
I have the 7 cd's for ver 3.0 R5 Non-Us Debian. I would like very mutch to set up a repository on one of my servers ( a windows 2000 server ) to ease instalation, as well as for my own education.

Now I have done some things and read the (thick and not easy) dockuments, but if what I did so far is no good I can just erase it and start over.

I am looking for as good as possible step by step instructions for setting up a repository using only the files on the cd's and what ever tools I'll need.

The challinge natuaraly is having (building) the right sources list and Packeges list  *NB
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is what I have done so far:
                                     ------

I have copied out all the files from the 7 cd's to one directory, and made it into both a ftp site and a file share, so I can mount the files under linux in order to build the packeges and sources list under linux.

I have kept the exact directory structure of the CD's ( using xcopy to copy ) so that the tree looks somthing like this
