The daily image detects both of the ISO files:
Mar 29 14:43:27 iso-scan: Detected ISO with 'stable' (squeeze) distribution
Mar 29 14:43:27 iso-scan: Detected ISO with distribution 'stable' (squeeze)
Nevertheless as it only installs testing (no squeeze support?) I cannot
use them (except to load udebs?) and I get also no dialog asking for a
specific image.
I also noticed that iso-scan is a little bit verbose. The message above
if for example printed three times. I attached for reference the
relevant part of the syslog.
Thanks,
Jens
