Keep the comments to the list. I've cc'ed this so it goes back there. OK, I haven't run 'testing' since Etch went stable, but here goes: http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer Then, since you want something other than a CD, use a daily-build, other images, i386: http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/daily/ hd-media get MANIFEST and MD5SUMS then you see what you need: boot.img.gz is an image for a 250 MB USB stick and there's the kernel (vmlinuz) and initrd.gz now, go back to the debian-installer page and get yourself a daily-build netinst.iso file to put on your hard drive or USB stick. That would be debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso and grab that MD5SUMS file too to verify your download. Don't forget to get a copy of the installation manual by following the links on the debian-installer page. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
