Only the businesscard and netboot dailys allow you to choose stable/testing/unstable. The netinst dailys which contain the base system always install testing. They are created with the udebs in unstable/sid. For the weekly images it's probable the same as with netinst. Though maybe they use the udebs from testing. The normal set of CD/DVD images for the stable release are AFAIK made from the installer in stable and allow only to install stable. -- Felix Zielcke Proud Debian Maintainer and GNU GRUB developer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bsd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
