I'm using rescue disk image to upgrade my system. But there is a confusion about stage2.img. It seems that the CD contains it, but it is tricky to get to it. When I'm asked, what media should be used, the answer "local CD/DVD" is not accepted, because the CD is not an install media. So I have to choose HTTP, configure the network interface and specify the http URL. Then the installer discoveres that there is a media in the drive and asks me if I'd like to check its checksum. If I answer "Skip", then stage2.img is downloaded from the net, which takes some time. But if I answer "Go on, check my media", then the installer complains that there is not checksum on the disk, _but_ it then uses the media and copies stage2.img to my hard drive. Isn't that all weird? I admit I'm confused, but it may not be totally my fault...
Which tree were you trying this with? Actual test3 or something right before or after?
It was actual test3, downloaded by torrent.
Chris fixed some things around this last week.
