The time has come. I have started to install Debian Linux on my old laptop.
I have gotten this iso file and expanded it to a CD which I have moved to the laptop.
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/we...-xfce-CD-1.iso
From what I have read so far from the installation guide, the next thing for me to do is to boot off of the CD drive.
The only thing I am wondering right now is this. Since this is an installation using just once CD (I double checked the readme file, and it is), does this mean that I am required to be on the internet when I install this version of Debian?
