Etch d-i installs etch; without forcing such a release to install
unstable, it would not be possible to use the 2.6.18 kernel currently in
unstable. If we point d-i

Well, the release of etch is currently delayed due to the currently 95
open release critical bugs, of which #404876 is one. I don't see any
indication that the bug's not being

Sorry, but "you have failed us" is both a personal attack, and infalmatory.

By that date I can intuit that you downloaded a full size CD image, all
of which still have the rc1 installer on them. If you had wanted to get
a newer version of
It occurs to me that this might be of interest here. The rest of the

No, it would simply be a statement of fact. If d-i cannot be made to

I'm trying to get an upload of the debian-installer boot images
(everything except CD) into the Debian archive, similar to how the
boot-floppies used to go into the archive. I think that this will be
