Meybe the mini.iso deserves a dedicated page in the Wiki or something. 

It's the only image I know of that can:

 * install unstable directly
 
 * install to the same storage device it is (was) on
   
   (very convenient for installs on brand new systems or USB storage)

As mentioned in another thread, it also provides a partition to copy any  
necessary firmware[1], so it should cover just about every installation 
need provided the network interface is supported.

Did I mention the size is just 48 Mib (74 if you want a graphical 
install) for bullseye, amd64?

[1] the big .tar.gz or just individual packages if you know exactly 
which ones you need.

Kind regards,
Andrei
