Bug#783562: netinst should offer to install from other CD/DVD sets too
Package: apt-setup
Version: 1:0.97
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i
Found when testing d-i on netinst CDs like the special i386 Mac
netinst build - we don't offer to scan other CDs or DVDs when booting
off a netinst.
Looking in the code, this is clearly deliberate, as netinsts are not
part of a larger set. However, we've moved on since then and we're now
explicitly offering netinst variants to make things easier for people
(firmware-included builds, mac netinst, etc.) so it would make more
sense to change the design here now.
We need to think about this and come up with a better plan...
