Hello, Im trying to download an iso or some type of live image of debian jr
and on the wiki it links a site for: Test images are temporarily available
here:

http://people.debian.org/~synrg/live-jr

But gives a not found error. I have tried doudou and iknowforkids and like
the standalone type system they are so iso or live image would be preferred
but if they are not available what would be the next best way of getting? I
could follow the wiki but being that the first option is either outdated or
nonexistent I figured Id check first. Thank you.

I can confirm that these images do not exist any more and since Ben who
hosted these (and started the Debian Jr project) did not worked any more
on Debian Jr I doubt that these would have been up to date ... and
neither the Wiki is.

Unfortunately the Debian Jr project is quite orphaned and despite my
regular trials to find people who keep on working here this failed. My
personal opinion which is backed up by my experience in Debian Med is
that there is always some manpower to kick of a similar project /
derivative (like doudou and iknowforkids) and than it fades out since
these projects are not sustainable and are draining lots of manpower for
things that should rather be done right here inside Debian.
Unfortunately it does not help to explain this - people tend to prefer
suffering from own experience.

Sorry for not coming up with better news

Andreas.
