You don't say which image you used (full URL preferably). Without that info we cannot do much with your report. The best way to give feedback on the installer is to use our installation report template [1].

The difference is that the netinst CD contains the Packages (.deb) required to install the base system; the businesscard CD does not. If you use the businesscard CD, these will be downloaded from the net. Everything up to base-installation should thus be identical (except that you need to select a mirror for the businesscard CD). The outward difference is mainly size. Cheers, FJP
