Installation

Booting debian netinst from USB drive

Debian Installer Etch beta 3 release

Debian installer CD has some issues with the SATA and CD drivers that prevent installation to access to CD drive, I found some tips to solve that problem but they did't work for me. I installed it from my 256 MB USB drive.

wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/\
main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/boot.img.gz
gzip -dc boot.img.gz >/dev/sdX

Enable USB drive boot from BIOS setup, and then Install Debian base system as usual.
