Nope. There was a test image, but it disappeared when I was halfway
through my rsync :(. Debian has a mechanism to get most of the info from a
mirror, then rsync the cd image. It's pretty cool and will kick when I put
in my mirror at home ;-).

I need the ISO as I don't always have a great network connection (
embarassing to admit that in public ;-), but the install setup is usually
enough.
