Hi Cyril
Yep, I got a hybrid CD 2 times, before all the files were distributed. I
downloaded again and found differences in the file, mainly in the
installer Readme "Archive: unstable" now shows "Archive: stable". So it
must have taken a while for the files to distribute. My hybrid netinst
had "Debian 9" in the upper right corner. That's gone now.
Thanks,
Mike
