How do I install debian etch ?

[hq4ever]

Hi, the stable (sarge) iso files can be downloaded from debian site, but the etch iso I can't find nowhere.

Where / how should I start the download / setup of the testing tree ?

Thank you.

Thank you.

You can use any Sarge image, after the installation just point your sources.list to testing and upgrade.

Boot from your standard netinstall CD at the boot prompt type:

boot: linux26 expert

this will install the 2.6 kernel (linux26) during the install, and it will ask a LOT more questions (expert mode) than the normal instal, but it will give the the option of installing either stable, unstable or testing as party of the original install.

works like a charm

That is what I ended up doing :)
Had no idea it was possible to migrate and mix so easily the stable with the unstable package trees.

Thank you!
