For some reason your posts have broken threads and I can't find the first one. :/ >From memory you said you'd created a large CD, but didn't say whether you used the iso9660 or udf filesystem, and then dded it to a Flash key - in which case the Flash key will have an iso or udf file system as the first slice, and the remaining space will be un-used. Have you tried mounting the key "-t iso9660" or udf? NOTE: d-i will "see" the Flash key as an iso image if my understanding of what you're doing is correct - which means it's already mounted when you try and "view the files". Try running the mount command and seeing if it's already mounted - if not use the "-o loop -t $isoORudf" to mount the key. You don't say *when* you try to mount it (during the install?) or how. Have you considered just formatting the key with ext and copying the install isos to it - then using GRUB to make it bootable? GRUB can boot the first iso in any Debian release, the Debian installer can load additional iso images (apt-cdrom).
