I'm planning to install wheezy using netinstall, but not always wanting to use "cutting edge" daily installer build (or is it required at this stage of wheezy cycle?).
http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/ ...links to: http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ ...that offers downloads with "installer build from sid" What's the difference between "installer build from wheezy" and "installer build from sid"? You should tell what ""wheezy" uses the last known-good d-i image from the archive (aka squeeze release at the moment)." means. Does it use old squeeze kernel during install (2.6.32) or wheezy (3.x) and has it any new features compared to squeeze installer (apart that it installs wheezy by default)? quote from http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/ --- What are the daily builds? These images are produced regularly, normally twice daily but this may change from time to time. There are multiple CDs built in each run: * "wheezy" businesscard for each arch except s390 (small image, no * packages - just contains d-i) * "wheezy" netinst for each arch except s390 (slightly larger image, d-i * and the base system only) * "sid" businesscard (as above) * "sid" netinst (as above) The "wheezy" and "sid" versions determine the version of d-i used in each case. "wheezy" uses the last known-good d-i image from the archive (aka squeeze release at the moment). "sid" uses the latest build from the porters for each architecture. The "daily", "daily.new" and "daily.old" links below are just symlinks to wheezy_d-i and sid_d-i as appropriate (for convenience). Within each directory, you'll find the last 6 builds labelled by date and build number within that day. There are more symlinks provided too: "current" points to the last build that was done; "arch-latest" points to the last successful CD build for each architecture. (NOTE: that's not a guarantee that the CDs are useful, just that the build script did not fail!). --- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
