The installer part in the daily built full CD images does not change
along with the development of the installer. This means that what you
have in this CD image will still be the "etch beta2" installer,
whichever week you download the CD image.

If you want to test dai-ly development snapshot images, you have to
download them from the installer page:
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer

Be sure to choose the "daily" images.

I recommend using the netboot or businesscard images which will give
you more control about which Debian suite you'll install (testing or
unstable).
