Why not use such a naming system so people can see which build the iso was
based on?
The full URL contains the build date.
Not really -
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso
Is there a better place to get pure amd64?
How valuable are install bug reports if there is no reference to
which install was run?
The installed system and the ramdisk during install contains
the file /etc/lsb-release which has build date.
That says 20060408 -- but that is a lie - the files in the base directory of
the iso have the more recent date I'm referring to.
These are the daily built images.
I'm still dead in the water - I even tried installing unbuntu and tried to move
the install to testing - ubuntu worked, (had a 2.6.12 kernel) but trying to
move to a pure Debian system turned into a total disaster.
If I could get an install to go far enough that I can install a more recent
kernel I think it would work.
It might be that I need to go with a different kernel image - the generic
instead of the K8?
I renamed this iso to debian-testing-amd64-netinst-5-13-06.iso
I doubt there is may 15th 2006 build of amd64.
Please prove me wrong by booting with that ISO-image,
switch to the second virtual console (by ALT-F2)
and type `cat /etc/lsb-release` to get the actual build date.
You can do that with any harm to the installed system
(no need to re-install)
Something is very wrong with that date - did they back up to an older version
with older bugs?
