Hi, I don't know myself what is correct, but I see these related statements on the Debian wiki [1]: """ The reliable way to install testing from scratch is to do a minimal installation with the stable installer, then upgrade from stable to testing ... you could use the testing image of the debian-installer, but note that the testing installer is more for testing the installer than for installing testing. """ I guess that the last sentence in the above quote becomes less of a concern when the testing installer is close to its final release state. In other words, if talking about beta-releases of the testing installer when a new stable release of Debian is close to being finalised. [1] https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting
