I received a 200 4/233 "Mustang+" from a friend a few days ago.
This is my first 64-bit CPU and I am still undecided of what to do with it.
My first instinct is to turn it into a workstation, for this I decided on Debian 4.

I went to debian.org and I decided I am going to go with netinst,
(http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/...ha-netinst.iso)

when I discovered a KDE .iso:
(http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/...a-kde-CD-1.iso)

Now I am a KDE aficiando and would like to use the K suite for everything,
and exclude all non-KDE GUI apps.

How do I use the kde-CD-1.iso? Is it bootable? Can I tell netinst to use the KDE ISO and get
everything else it might need from the net?

(There's also a seperate ISO for the XFCE window manager)

It is bootable, and it installs KDE instead of Gnome. Unless you love having tons of applications you don't need, tho ... There is a better way.

Get the regular Netinstall disk (150 MB or so); run the install up to the point where it asks you about "Tasks" that it might install. Deselect "Desktop" leaving only "Standard System" (and "Laptop," if it is one).

Reboot, at the prompt, log in as root; and at the # prompt, type:
# aptitude install xorg kdm kde-core

That will give you a nice core system of KDE, and you'll need to install any other applications you want.

You can use the same theory with the kde.iso as well ... just avoid letting the installer choose what apps should be installed by default with KDE.
