It always helps to provide some information about the goal you want to
achieve ... 

If you are trying to install Debian by booting from USB you can find
information about that in the install guide. [1] Just follow "The easy
way" and it should work. The files mentioned in that guide can be
retrieved at [2] or [3] if you need kmuto (i.e. stable ones with newer
kernels) images. Finding weekly/daily-builds is left as an excercise for
the reader ;)

If you actually want to do something else either follow some of the
advice already given in this thread or explain what you are trying to
achieve.

Have fun
