Hard-disk installation


I'm using Windows dual boot with Slack, now interested in Debian.

I don't have a CR-Writer, but I've got a lot of empty space in my hard disk and if I download a DVD image of Debian from the internet to my Windows partition. Can I install Debian from that.

google debian net-install...should be exactly what ya need


Or,install via debian based live cd like kanotix...which has three hdd install options....Debian like system(recommended)
beginner-mass hardware detection
kanotix install just like the cd(basically a copy cd to hard drive)


You should,considering you have plenty of space,be able to make a new partition and install debian there.The install will recognise your existing bootmanager.

Good luck

Try netinst image for floppy. It won't take a lot of floppy disc I think. Then after you setup the base system, you can download-as-you-go using apt-get. You don't even need to download one whole DVD, apt-get will just get whatever you need just as you need it (read apt-howto from Debian).

Cheers,
Chris
