Are the mini ISO cdrom of 8 mb still existing for Debian ?

This mini iso is really great when one has a cdrom that is getting pretty old and has troubles with reading.

Has Debian.org still those mini Iso of 8-9 mb only ?
I cannot find it anymore.

Thanks for the hint
Best regards to Linux !

Dunno where you got that 8 micro bit (you mean megabyte, use capital letters then: MB) limit from, but the businesscard installs are still available: http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/ Takes some 40 MB or less.

Under the netboot directory there is netboot/mini.iso -- a tiny CD image that boots the netboot installer. Its around 5.7MB.

See dists/stable/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/

And then you may install Debian through the network/internet ... I presume
