I have tried to is the iso image on the page you gave me and when I
tried to install using the USB key I have the following message in the log:
Apr 08 09:08:01 iso-scan:./debian-testing-snapshot-2011.04-i386-mini.iso
not a Debian iso
I have looked at the image by mounting them:
mount -o loop ./debian-testing-snapshot-2011.04-i386-mini.iso /tmp/dd
ls /tmp/dd/
adtxt.cfg dtmenu.cfg f10.txt f2.txt f4.txt f6.txt f8.txt
g2ldr initrd.gz isolinux.cfg linux menu.cfg rqtxt.cfg
splash.png txt.cfg win32-loader.ini
boot.cat exithelp.cfg f1.txt f3.txt f5.txt f7.txt f9.txt
g2ldr.mbr isolinux.bin kde lxde prompt.cfg setup.exe
stdmenu.cfg vesamenu.c32 xfce
and the daily build iso image gives something different.
mount -o loop ~/OLD/debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso /tmp/dd
ls /tmp/dd/
autorun.inf debian doc g2ldr install isolinux pics
README.html README.mirrors.txt README.txt tools

README.mirrors.html README.source setup.exe win32-loader.ini
I should say that using the daily build image burn on a CD works
perfectly it is only the usb key installation setup that causes me
problems.
When I try to do the installation with the daily build I have these two
lines in the log
Apr 3 09:08:35 anna[1914]: grep: /cdrom/dists/stable/Release: No such
file or directory
Apr 3 09:08:35 cdrom-retriever: error: No components listed in
/cdrom/dists/stable/Release.
It looks to me that the installer (anna?) is looking for a stable
release not a testing one. And in fact in the daily build the
dists/stable/Release directory doesn't exist.
If I put a squeeze iso image it loads the CD but complains that there is
a kernel mismatch between the installer (2.6.37-2-486) and the modules
found in the iso image.
sincerely
