That is, I now have six files, one of which is the ISO of 148.1 MB. But after the download finished I got: "Images offered by `http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso':" Being unsure what to do, I did nothing. After a while I got: "Number of image to download: " Apparently the "Images offered by ..." line was supposed to be followed by a list of images from which I could choose one. But that doesn't make any sense if it just finished downloading the ISO that I typed at <URL of required ISO file>. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
