Only if you choose to install Testing (it's at the choose repository
stage of the install)
You can install testing using the stable installer too.

Cheers - I've just re-read the scattered threads, still hard to
understand even with that clarification. A make and model number might
make things simpler. Anyway, the Wheezy installer will allow an audio
install of Squeeze, which medium to run the installer from is another
matter... certainly the installer allows for plenty of choices.
Kind regards
