Hi Jack,

This might be, but don't worry, we'll sort it out.

mini.iso is produced during the build of the debian-installer package, and later installed on mirrors in e.g.:
  http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-amd64/20141002/images/netboot/
  http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-amd64/20150107/images/netboot/

I've just grabbed mini.iso in both (respectively used for Beta 2 and RC
1), and both seem to have efi bits inside (at least according to a loop
mount). I don't know much about EFI Partition etc. therefore I'm not
sure how they're related to an ISO9660 image. :/

It'd be nice to start by telling us the full URL to the mini.iso you
downloaded.

Mraw,
KiBi.
