No, that's the contrary: the set of packages included in the netinst image is a coherent view at some point. The daily images have not been tested so they might break, but the released images (be the actual 2-year-period release, or the snapshot I publish from times to time) have been tested, so the base system included in it *is* installable. The mini.iso image, however, *completely* depends on the archive state at the time you run it. There is thus zero guarantee whether it's installable at all or not. > Looking at the debootstrap invocation in both mini and netinst, neither > includes the unreleased suite in the call, So you here mean the initial base system installation? With netinst it shouldn't actually be needed to enable unreleased, it should be already finding everything it needs inside the netinst iso for installing the base system. That's the "Checking base is installable for hurd-i386 Found all files needed for debootstrap for all binary arches" message in debian-cd.log. Of course, for mini.iso it's a completely different story, enabling unreleased could be useful there, help welcome on this. samuelk
