The URL you used was http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/wheezy_di_beta4/i386/iso-cd/ ?

UNetbootin? Last time I used it it didn't even display a Debian splash screen and some of the menus did not function. It did boot but I doubt anyone (not me, anyway) is going to debug the operation of this software, especially as the CD FAQ at http://www.debian.org/CD/ and the install manual describe a reliable method for writing an ISO on a USB device. Is there any reason why you cannot use it? I think d-i says it is detecting and mounting a CD-ROM. Somewhat confusing if you have a USB stick. In expert mode there should be a message which says CD-ROM autodetection has been successful. > Hence I have to burn a CD. Please see above. > 2) While installing from CD, I tried to use wifi.
