This was about a *netboot* image, which has *NOTHING* at all to do with CD 
images.

It has been known for ages that the D-I testing images are broken. They got 
broken by all the ABI changes after the Lenny release that were (rightly) 
allowed to migrate to testing. They get more and more broken with every 
udeb migration to testing.

The only way to fix them is by doing timely releases. And then ensuring 
that they stay working by tightly regulating what udebs migrate to 
testing.

Quoting Andrew O'Neill (meta...@gmail.com):
 Using the link you provided, the installation worked - no problems at
 all. I'll try to remember to use a D-I daily build image next time :)


Thanks for your followups.
