After 3 people told me to note the date, I looked at my download logs and I was correct, it was TC1. The URL I downloaded from is:
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/i386/tc1/sarge-i386-netinst.iso Now, how can I go about getting this working. I saw a few emails from Karl Hegbloom about USB keys, so USB enclosed hard drives can't be too far away. I want to get this up and working because it's a good middle ground for people that don't want to erase Windows because they don't want to take that plunge just yet but want something more hands-on than say VMware.
