- other images (netboot, USB stick, etc) to other images (netboot, USB stick, etc) are not available for squeeze_di_alpha1 but you can test it using daily iso images instead Where should we ask to make this change ? (debian-www ?) or people from debian-boot has access to this page ? In the future I think should be desirable to have a readme in http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/ where we could read about howto use these files (from linux and from others OS). People from windows are lost when they try to install debian from USB. Truly, when usb iso images be available, this will not be true anymore.
