The Getting Debian page does not > mention any mini iso. https://www.debian.org/distrib/ It's on the Debian Installer pages, specifically under "other images (netboot, USB stick, etc.)": https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/debian-installer/ (substitute 'stable' with the code name to download installers for specific releases) This is the official page for the development (testing) version of the Debian Installer. For installing unstable/sid the daily images are probably better than a 'stable' image. https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ > Am I missing something here?
