Re: Unstable snapshots - website updated
Thanks for the information! I've now updated /CD/ not to mention weekly sid
images. Furthermore, I've added the following FAQ entry
<http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#unstable-images>:
Are images for the "unstable" distribution available?
There are no "unstable" full CD or DVD images. Due to the fact that the
packages in "unstable" change so quickly, it is more appropriate for
people to download and install "unstable" using a normal Debian FTP
mirror.
If you are aware of the risks of running unstable, but still want to
install it, you have two choices:
* Install "testing" using a netinst image, then upgrade to "unstable"
by changing the entries in your /etc/apt/sources.list. To avoid
unnecessary downloads and package upgrades, it is advisable to
install a minimal "testing" system first and only to install most of
the software (e.g. desktop environment) after the switch to
"unstable".
* Use the business card image. Boot from it in expert mode with
priority=medium. You will then be able to select the distribution
(stable/testing/unstable) during mirror selection.
Cheers,
Richard
