Sarge iso files

tamoneya · 01-21-2005, 08:33 PM

I am getting ready to burn a new set of sarge iso's and i noticed that iso 15 is much smaller then the other 14 iso and that the date that it was last revised is different from the others. Is there another updated iso somewhere else.

If your'e interested in installing Debian, I think it's best doing it witn the sarge netinst(aller). Burn a 100 mb cd and the rest will be downloaded for you during and after the install proccess.
Have a look here: http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/

Good luck.

i am not sure i want to do that because when i was setting up mandrake it took me a long time to get my wireless card configured. Will i be able to complete the install before i need to get the graphics card working?

The install does not require X11. The wireless card can be tricky - for this reason I installed Sarge (netinstall) using standard ethernet card and adsl. I suggest you do the same, if it is possible.

That is what I did. I did a net install and it went well. When given the choice of what you want to do with Linux, choosing desktop as one of the options will automatically install X11. I like booting into the text screen, so I uninstalled GDM afterwords, and everything went fine.

i still don't think that net install will be an option. I don't see any other way around using my wireless card. However i discovered that the higher number disks are only packages that are rarely used. That would explain why 15 is smaller and i don;t think that i will need that disk anyways. Thanks
