The Ubuntu and Debian live images are built in a different way from a netinst or CD-1 image. Basically, they have loop.ko and the ability to scan an ISO image. The netinst/CD-1 images don't need to have this facility. There is a patch available to do it but d-i doesn't have it yet. Personally, I'm content with the HD method and find it reliable and versatile. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
