For example I did: cp debian-6.0.0-i386-netinst.iso /dev/sdg I am sure that unetbootin has been awesome. It wasn't completely trivial to create usb bootable media before and if unetbootin did that then that is excellent and I don't want to disparage it in any way. But I think it is no longer needed now that 'cp' is sufficient. (Feel free to substitute in 'dd' or 'cat' as your personal preference. :-) A really nice feature of the new Squeeze is that it is no longer necessary to do anything special to create usb bootable media. Just copy the iso directly to your usb flash device and boot it. See 4.3.1.

Re: Anyone else having problems installing Squeeze Stable on AMD64?
For the two variants of Netinstall I tried three different mirrors, two in Sweden and one in US (the top of the list). On the Netinstall I think the problem is packages on the iso image. The first package to fail is libsqlite3-0_3.7.3-1_amd64.deb, which is on the iso. Haven't checked the iso's, but since I tried two different iso's, I'm thinking it's not because of corrupted downloads. For the mini.iso, the problem seems to be retrieving /dists/squeeze/main/binary-amd64/Packages.

Anyone else having problems installing Squeeze Stable on AMD64?
Tried: *debian-6.0.0-amd64-i386-netinst.iso, *debian-6.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso *mini.iso (for amd64). For the first two I have tried installing from usb stick using unetbootin to create it. The first I have also burned to cd. Each time I try installing it will fail at retrieving packages, saying that lots of packages are corrupted. mini.iso failed at retrieving /path/to/Packages, saying it was unable to retrieve it.
