As described at http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/ : 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 d-i team hasn't yet done a wheezy/testing release, so the latest version of d-i in the archive is the version used for squeeze. The build from sid will contain the very latest commits from d-i developers, including lots of newer things: newer kernel, newer features and (potentially) newer bugs. >> I tested, "installer build from wheezy" uses 2.6.32 kernel during install :( Yes, that's expected at this point. >I think it would be good to show at help page of installer download >page (parent directory), kernel version used by different image flavours. >2.6.32 is >too old for some new machines. I'll let the d-i folks look into that. >Does weekly builds use 3.x kernel or 2.6.32? Currently they're using the sid build. The page at http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/ normally says which installer is currently used, but I must have removed that by mistake when editing the file. Updated now. >Is there a reason why weekly builds don't have netinst images? They're created by a different process/config. The names "daily" and "weekly" are merely confusing names for the two different sets of builds we do: * the "small" CDs (business card, netinst) which are produced twice per day * the "large" CD sets (CD, DVD, BD, alternate CD#1) which are normally produced once per week, on a Monday There are small CDs built on a Monday as well, we just don't publish them in the same directory as the full CD sets. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com < liw> everything I know about UK hotels I learned from "Fawlty Towers" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
