You can buy a set from a vendor (see the +<ulink url="&url-debian-cd-vendors;">CD vendors page</ulink>). +You may also download the CD-ROM images from a Debian mirror and make +your own set, if you have a fast network connection and a CD burner +(see the <ulink url="&url-debian-cd;">Debian CD page</ulink> for +detailed instructions). If you have a Debian CD set and CDs are +bootable on your machine, you can skip right to +<xref linkend="boot-installer"/>; much effort has been expended to ensure +the files most people need are there on the CD. Although a full set of +binary packages requires several CDs, it is unlikely you will need +packages on the third CD and above. You may also consider using the +DVD version, which saves a lot of space on your shelf and you avoid +the CD shuffling marathon. + +</para><para> + +If your machine doesn't support CD booting, but you do have a CD set, +you can use an alternative strategy such as + +<phrase condition="supports-floppy-boot">floppy disk,</phrase> + +<phrase arch="s390">tape, emulated tape,</phrase> + +<phrase condition="bootable-disk">hard disk,</phrase> + +<phrase condition="bootable-usb">usb stick,</phrase> + +<phrase condition="supports-tftp">net boot,</phrase> + +or manually loading the kernel from the CD to initially boot the +system installer.
