There are links to the correct ftp site:yes, but... 1. looks like these have been updated since my inquiry (when I downloaded things, vmlinuz and initrd in the /hd-media directory were dated 7/23, today they're dated 9/10 - so they look consistent with the iso images I downloaded), but... 2. looks like I may have uncovered a but in the USB installer, after booting itself and starting up, it goes and looks for a .iso image - BUT it looks on the hard drives, not the USB stick - and, of course,Did the install actually fail to find the iso?

When it was only on the usb stick (/dev/sdc1, mounted as /hd-media) it did not find the iso. When I copied the iso to both / and /boot on my hard drive: - on the first pass, the installer didn't find it - on the deep search pass it reported "while one or more possible iso images were found, they did not look like valid installer iso images" This time I was using both the installer and mini.iso from the current build (today). I've reported all this as a bug. In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In<fnord> practice, there is. .... Yogi Berra
