+The easiest route for most people will be to use a 
+<ulink url="http://www.debian.org/CD/vendors/">set of Debian CDs</ulink>. 
+If you have a CD set, and if your machine supports booting directly off
+the CD, great!  Simply 
+<phrase arch="i386">
+configure your system for booting off a CD as described in 
+<xref linkend="boot-dev-select"/>,
+</phrase> 
+insert your CD, reboot, and proceed to the next chapter.
+
+</para><para>
+
+Note that certain CD drives may require special drivers, and thus be
+inaccessible in the early installation stages. If it turns out the
+standard way of booting off a CD doesn't work for your hardware,
+revisit this chapter and read about alternate kernels and installation
+methods which may work for you.

+
+Even if you cannot boot from CD-ROM, you can probably install the
+Debian system components and any packages you want from CD-ROM.
+Simply boot using a different media, such as floppies.  When it's
+time to install the operating system, base system, and any additional
+packages, point the installation system at the CD-ROM drive.
