hi guys I wana download a debian without graphical frontend...at linuxquestions.org there are 7 cds, the first one called businesscard the second one called netinst and the rest are binary cds...which should i download for a functioning console based system.

P.S I had it one one CD..but it was scratched..the CD I want installs all the linux files needed for a fully functional debian console based router.

You can use netinstall cd for minimal system and when asked if you want desktop system install say no then install pkgs you want once you have internet connection or network connection setup. The business card install is even smaller install. These options are discussed at http://www.debian.org/CD/netinstall/. Good luck.

Thx that was exactly what I needed to know, however the link is dead or not spelled right..the correct url would be http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/ "For other users who might ask"
