Re: how to install previous releases
Hi, Paul:
Thanks for your explanation. I got needed ISO files this time.
We like to do some verification to make sure our product is able to work well on previous versions, as well as latest ones.

According to the archive page, only jigdo files are available:

The jigdo process allows you to reconstruct the ISO images from the
Debian binary packages, instructions and .jigdo files here:
https://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/8.3.0/amd64/jigdo-dvd/
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/7.10.0/amd64/jigdo-dvd/
I'm not sure, but you may need to use snapshot to do so:

What is the purpose of using old ISOs though?
