I agree, and if Harry had criticised the CDs then I would have refuted that.
But, looking at Harry's problems, none of them were caused by the
installation CD which (by luck more than anything) appeared to work
perfectly. So, I don't think it is far to complain he used unofficial,
unreleased CDs.
Had he attempted to instal stable and then upgrade, what would have happened
differently?
