    Thanks Bob.

This morning I downloaded the net-inst iso
"debian-jessie-DI-b2-amd64-netinst.iso" and this iso allows me to
build Jessie VMs under VMware Workstation and under KVM.  The iso
that I have previously downloaded is
"debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso" which is the iso that could not
find a kernel.

Do you use KVM for any of your Jessie installations?  I am using
"qxl"  and Spice for a Cinnamon KVM installation and it reports
"Running in software rendering mode".  This is not displayed in
VMware Workstation's VM.

I would like to trial Jessie with Cinnamon on a real hardware. I have
liked Cinnamon now for a while but since I usually run Debian stable,
I have not done run it as my GUI. I do like Cinnamon in Jessie.
Previously when I used Linux Mint I had issues where copying large
files failed. Today all worked well.

To install Debian testing, we recommend you use the Jessie Beta 2
release of the installer, after checking its errata [1]. The following
images are available for Jessie Beta 2: 
netinst (generally 150-280 MB) CD images

+1 (ie. that's also what I do).

I have about 4 boxen running Jessie. ("about" because two of them are
virtual and not always running).

To "change your osurces.list", I do:
# vi /etc/apt/sources.list
:1,$s/wheezy/jessie/g
:wq

(then the apt-get update etc.)
