The images you have created are for use only alongside other discs in a set; they contain extra packages that you could add to your system via "apt-cdrom add; apt-get install $package". >For me that seems to be too much hassle, so I downloaded the netinstall >cd and that works. OK... The netinst *is* designed to be bootable and it contains the Debian installer and a small set of packages: the base system. DVD-1 contains the installer a larger set of packages.
