+ <title>Organization of This Document</title>
+
+<para>
+
+This document is meant to serve as a manual for first-time Debian
+users. It tries to make as few assumptions as possible about your
+level of expertise. However, we do assume that you have a general
+understanding of how the hardware in your computer works.
+
+</para><para>
+
+Expert users may also find interesting reference information in this
+document, including minimum installation sizes, details about the
+hardware supported by the Debian installation system, and so on. We
+encourage expert users to jump around in the document.
+
+</para><para>
+
+In general, this manual is arranged in a linear fashion, walking you
+through the installation process from start to finish. Here are the
+steps in installing &debian;, and the sections of this document which
+correlate with each step:
+
+<orderedlist>
+<listitem><para>
+
+Determine whether your hardware meets the requirements for using the
+installation system, in <xref linkend="hardware-req"/>.
+
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+
+Backup your system, perform any necessary planning and hardware
+configuration prior to installing Debian, in <xref linkend="preparing"/>. If
+you are preparing a multi-boot system, you may need to create
+partition-able space on your hard disk for Debian to use.
+
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+
+In <xref linkend="install-methods"/>, you will obtain the necessary
+installation files for your method of installation.
+
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+
+<xref linkend="boot-installer"/> describes booting into the
+installation system. This chapter also discusses troubleshooting
+procedures in case you have problems with this step.
+
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+
+Perform the actual installation according to
+<xref linkend="d-i-intro"/>. This involves choosing your language,
+configuring peripheral driver modules, configuring your network
+connection, so that remaining installation files can be obtained
+directly from a Debian server (if you are not installing from a CD),
+partitioning your hard drives and installation of minimal working
+system.
+(Some background about setting up the partitions for your Debian
+system is explained in <xref linkend="partitioning"/>.)
+
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+
+Boot into your newly installed base system and run through some
+additional configuration tasks, from <xref linkend="boot-new"/>.
+
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+
+Install additional software in <xref linkend="install-packages"/>.
+
+</para></listitem>
+</orderedlist>
+
+</para><para>
+
+Once you've got your system installed, you can read
+<xref linkend="post-install"/>. That chapter explains where to
+look to find more information about Unix and Debian, and how to
+replace your kernel.
+
+<!-- XXX FIXME: If you want to build your own install system
+from source, be sure to read <xref linkend="boot-floppy-techinfo"/>. -->

+Finally, information about this document and how to contribute to it
+may be found in <xref linkend="administrivia"/>.
