No, that's no update. Only a date change for some reason. The images are still identical to the alpha1 release from February. One way to see that is to check the kernel version: it uses 2.6.30 instead of 2.6.32. Another is to check the /etc/lsb-release file or the versions of udebs listed in /var/lib/dpkg/status. > But this same error would have occurred if I had used d-i from sid.

If you look at http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/, you will see three sets of links: - squeeze Alpha1 release (these are the ones you used) - current weekly snapshot - daily built images The first is the old release I was talking about and will soon be replaced with the new release. The second currently also still has the old version of pkgsel as weekly CD snapshots take udebs from testing and the current build is from last Monday (before the migrations of new versions done earlier today). The next build will use the new version (but is likely to be unusable because of the preparation for the new release which means that temporarily things from the old and new release will be mixed up and that is almost certain to cause breakage). The third set are the images that have the lastest version of all installer components from unstable. The page linked above is the only authoritative source for the various images available to install testing. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
