Re: Daily built Debian Installer cd kept asking for stable dists.
I've had situations where the daily builds have thrown a media change
message and asked for the disk that was already being used to install
the system to be put into the machine. Unfortunately, the drive door is
locked and the media change dialog only respects alt-fx alt-f2 ... and
ejecting the disk and replacing it and doing alt-f1 and hitting enter
leaves the system in a closed loop. One might be forgiven if they
thought Microsoft paid crackers had gotten to the code and broken it if
they didn't know any better.
