Comment 8 for bug 338455

Hi Eugene,

I'm trying to use the instructions at https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/122402/comments/11 but they don't seem to work for for the Debian base install iso. Are you aware of any boot options or the like which fix this, without any instructions like "zcat some external file to usb drive" or the like? I don't like the approach you linked to at http://blogs.koolwal.net/2009/02/25/installing-linux-on-usb-part-7-install-debian-linux-from-usb-drive/ because that would require me to detect Debian base install iso files and handle them entirely differently from any other iso files, which would be hard to do reliably without introducing regressions with other iso files.
