Thankx for any clues.
too new hardware, no Internet, nothing. Darkness

What hardware? If the hardware is too new, you might need to use a Squeeze install (from the weekly snapshots) or wait for Lenny and a half which will have a kernel update that will support newer hardware than the stock 2.6.26 kernel. Or maybe once you install you can get a newer kernel from lenny-backports (2.6.30).

You should be able to install a base system (no gui, etc) with just the first CD-rom. Then it looks like you'll need one of the following:

Blueray Disk #1
DVD #2
CD's #8 and #9

You can add the CD's using apt-cdrom. Not sure if you can do this during install or after the base has been installed. Then once you setup your network, you should be able to just comment out all the cdrom lines in /etc/apt/sources.list.

wow, thanks a lot.

I guess that for the moment squeezy is the only way, but i wait patiently the debian lenny and a half, sounding so great. I found this http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Debian/downgrade.html to squeeze to lenny, for the downgrade of debian testing to stable. we shall see it if works. keep cross fingers in any case, it cant be worst than the pre-installed windows xp on my 700 serie pc

a question, on this pc, i have no cdrom, to start the pc linux installer.
I havent any usb pendrive.

So can I :
- chkdsk /f /r c:
- resize/make a partition with easearus home edition for linux
- then make a small one of 50mb fat16/32 for the linux installer
- put a grub that loads the fat32 squeeze linux installer
- and keep going with squeeze install (cuz no stable n half yet)?

it seems so
http://www.debian.org/releases/stabl...en#boot-initrd
but, to be honest, i got problems understanding that. :-)
greetings

WOW debian is the kind of all distros!

So I downloaded the iso, tried to find a cdrom usb hardware, to boot my cdrom iso testing weekly built;

i run the 2 6 30 2 686 kernel
and it can run my compaq mini pc, http://www.nubae.com/pics/Compaq-Mini-700-open.jpg, where microsoft xp was completely shit and slow.
and resolution bad too

thank you !!
Squeeze rocks, and is ultra stable !!
How can debian achieve such very very high stability, compared to other like *buntu.

Ubuntu is made from a snapshot of debian unstable.

I managed to download it, but well I cannot find it on the website of debian and google. I had a super page for it, but where are squeeze weekly snapshot?

I found this with google http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/
and hope that it has the squeeze daily snapshot built


Confirmed! Those info on the site are cool:
