--- Begin Message ---Package: www.debian.org Severity: normal Hi! A perpetual problem in #debian is convincing people that they want to use the netinst on their USB stick (following §4.3.1 of the installation guide) and not the hd-media approach (§4.3.2). Historically, our download pages have only used "USB" in the description for "small images" and only used "CD" when describing the netinst. Of course, someone who just wants an image to burn, doesn't want the DIY hd-media approach. Most of the download pages have recently been improved which is great; the testing installer pages still label the netinst as "CD" and the "other images" as "USB stick". Suggestion: * Under each section heading ("Official release" etc) state that the netinst, CD and DVD images can all be used to make bootable USB installers * Change "other images (netboot, USB stick, etc)" to something less attractive like "other images (netboot, flexible USB stick, etc)" cheers Stuart -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (550, 'testing-updates'), (550, 'testing'), (60, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
