My point was only to do a more explicit image classification I added section 2.4 about netboot and incorporated your suggestion there. I think the description of the different images is now clear enough. > > there's a typo at line 81 in INSTALLATION-HOWTO: > > 81c81 > < Debian.

Difference between netinst and businesscard is indeed explained in section 2.1, in section 3 I can't find anything related to explanation of different image favours. My point was only to do a more explicit image classification there's a typo at line 81 in INSTALLATION-HOWTO: 81c81 < Debian. You need the bootfloppy-image.ing, the floppy-image.img and --- > Debian.

explicit image classification in INSTALLER-HOWTO
hi! first of all thanks for the great work with d-i, it is really cool! after playing around with some images I found netinst confusing, I thought it was "full networked installation (d-i included)" but that is netboot!
