Newbie question: downloading debian sarge.
Hi all, I've never used Debian, but I'd like to. So I went to linuxquestions.org downloads section and found like 16 iso images to dowmload. My question is: is it necessary to download all these iso images including the businesscard iso and the netinst iso?? (My purpose is to burn the iso's to cd's and install from there, not to do a net install).
Thanks in advance. |
i think this questions gets asked at least once a week.
check out the debian cd FAQ http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#which-cd or if you are too lazy for that. basically the net install cd is just to start up your system to installation, the rest of the packages get downloaded during installation. i would recommend the first cd because you're going to use most of those packages and if you stuff something up you don't need to redownload alot. Any other packages that aren't on the first one you can just download when you use apt-get. but basically you need only the first cd to install debian, the rest are just extra packages that you can download as you need them, becuase most you wont use |
Thanks, I'lll read the faq.

Yes, you're right. www.google.com/linux is a good option to find answers. I have solved lots of issues by going there. Anyway, I was so astonished with the amount of cd's that decided to ask.
