Installer customization regarding Jessie and USB installation

[Limpster]

It's not really an issue, but maybe someone needs this information (gettin obsolete when jessie is out anyway).
If you want to install jessie on an USB drive and you write the following lines in the installer-config.txt:

release=jessie
usbroot=1

it does not work, output is "unknown suite jessie"
If you change the config the other way around to:

usbroot=1
release=jessie

It will work :) I thought I post it here because in the "Installer customization" section a different order is mentioned (if you follow the instructions like you should).
The installer configuration shows "release = jessie" when initiating, so it reads the file correctly in both cases.
I did not test with spaces (see here: #46 (comment)) because I am too lazy right now, sry :)

release = jessie
usbroot = 1

(For the time beeing it did not solve my USB Boot problem -> #47 but i thought I'll give it a try installing jessie.
Dont forget the jessie login fix mentioned here -> #45 (comment))

Thanks again for finding and reporting this (again unexpected) issue @Limpster :-)
It is an issue, since I (and probably hifi) were unaware of this and hence have not documented it.

It's probably a good idea to (really) start using the wiki ...

I've just released version v1.0.1 of the raspbian-ua-netinst project and that includes a dos2unix conversion of configuration files, which may fix this issue as well.
I have not tried it myself whether it indeed does fix it, so I'll leave it open for now.
If you feel inclined to test it, that would be great.
No problems if you don't (like you indicated earlier in another bug report).

I'm quite sure this issue was fixed with the release of v1.0.1 and I've just tested it again with suite=jessie and after that usbroot=1 and the other way around and they both worked as expected.
Hence I'm closing this issue.
If someone does encounter this issue, feel free to reopen it or open a new issue.
