Since there is no interest on debian-cd, a patch to link to the right images for rc1: Index: devel/debian-installer/images.data =================================================================== RCS file: /cvs/webwml/webwml/english/devel/debian-installer/images.data,v retrieving revision 1.108 diff -u -r1.108 images.data --- devel/debian-installer/images.data 17 Feb 2013 14:33:14 -0000 1.108 +++ devel/debian-installer/images.data 18 Feb 2013 22:24:17 -0000 @@ -50,7 +50,7 @@ </define-tag> <define-tag other-images> -<images-list url="http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-@ARCH@/current/images/"; arch="<strip-arches "<devel-images-arches />" "source" />" /> +<images-list url="http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-@ARCH@/20130211/images/"; arch="<strip-arches "<devel-images-arches />" "source" />" /> </define-tag> But - hey, the images in the 20130211/ directory are dated 14.02.2013, which is currently identically with the ones in current/, so there's probably something wrong with that at all?
