Unfortunately, I wasn't aware of those instructions, and that looks utterly buggy. How can we claim to publish “official images” that are snapshots, built using debian-installer daily builds, that can be broken by random packages in unstable, and left unfixed for weeks?! We already have specific instructions on the d-i page[1] regarding *actual* official releases (as soon as testing gets an Alpha 1), plus snapshots. My first instinct would be to entirely scrap testing-related things from the page you started from[2], and just redirect to [1] instead. 1. https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ 2. https://www.debian.org/CD/http-ftp/ That link should be updated too… http://debian-cd.debian.net/ Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois (kibi@debian.org) <https://debamax.com/> D-I release manager -- Release team member -- Freelance Consultant
