It's not entirely true. You always should install using the latest iso and it is also important to release new isos regularly. Due to our continuous updates and changes old isos and especially netinstall are broken. For example you cannot run a netinstall with an old iso (without updating it first) due to the switch to xz compressed packages.
I wonder how this relates to my post of yesterday (which has produced a mysterious silence otherwise...) I really need to get this machine (and three others) working by friday evening. Ciao, -- FA O tu, che porte, correndo si ? E guerra e morte !
