Ah, yes, exactly, wheezy should use the Joy theme, but see: <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=680583> >>> Please report your experience :-) > > It works great until the partitions are scanned for a Debian ISO.

You have probably hit (which seem to be the same bug): <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=627163#60> <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=683706> <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=686786> <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=691922> Or even something similar: <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=571958> > Can I prepare /dev/sda3 somehow? Well, there is no point in preparing it, because anyway partman will play with it at the next cycle. My suggestion would be to use previous debian-installer hd-media images, the Debian Events Box was used at FOSDEM 2012, thus images from that period would work. I do not have access to that machine right now, but I do tomorrow, so if you do not find anything useful, I can always upload them somewhere. Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
