Just curious:

I used a Jessie netinstall CD, downloaded some time ago, on a
computer belonging to a friend, who has a very limited internet
connection. It gave me an error message after reading the CD and I
think at the step of installing the base system or just before that.

It was something about not finding any kernel modules probably due to
this version of the installer having the wrong kernel. That's what it
posted on the screen something akin to that anyway.

I tried to go on, but there were just too many things not right, so
aborted.

It didn't matter, as I used an early wheezy net installer for a minimal
system, changed the sources list accordingly. It booted, read the
updates for Jessie correctly and now I just have to get it to a better
internet connection and upgrade it, bring in the required packages and
we're done.

But it was just a weird thing? Why would a net install CD come with the
wrong kernel? Maybe I downloaded it at a time when it was incomplete.

Nothing drastic, but I just wondered.
