-which should contain all the information you will need for most installs.
-When more information can be useful, we will link to more detailed

-There are two different netinst CD images which can be used to install
-&releasename; with the &d-i;. These images are intended to boot from CD
-and install additional packages over a network, hence the name 'netinst'.
-The difference between the two images is that on the full netinst image
-the base packages are included, whereas you have to download these from
-the web if you are using the business card image. If you'd rather, you can
-get a full size CD image which will not need the network to install. You
-only need the first CD of the set.

- <title>Floppy</title>
-<para>
-
-If you can't boot from CD, you can download floppy images to install
-Debian. You need the <filename>floppy/boot.img</filename>, the
-<filename>floppy/root.img</filename> and possibly one of the driver disks.

-
-The boot floppy is the one with <filename>boot.img</filename> on it.
-This floppy, when booted, will prompt you to insert a second floppy &mdash;
-use the one with <filename>root.img</filename> on it.
-
-</para><para>
-
-If you're planning to install over the network, you will usually need
-the <filename>floppy/net-drivers.img</filename>, which contains additional
-drivers for many ethernet cards, and support for PCMCIA.
-
-</para><para>
-
-If you have a CD, but cannot boot from it, then boot from floppies and use
-<filename>floppy/cd-drivers.img</filename> on a driver disk to complete the
-install using the CD.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Floppy disks are one of the least reliable media around, so be prepared for
-lots of bad disks (see <xref linkend="unreliable-floppies" />). Each
-<filename>.img</filename> file you downloaded goes on a single floppy;
-you can use the dd command to write it to /dev/fd0 or some other means
-(see <xref linkend="create-floppy" /> for details).
-Since you'll have more than one floppy, it's a good idea to label them.

-It's also possible to install from removable USB storage devices. For
-example a USB keychain can make a handy Debian install media that you
-can take with you anywhere.
-
-</para><para>
-
-The easiest way to prepare your USB memory stick is to download
-<filename>hd-media/boot.img.gz</filename>, and use gunzip to extract the 128 MB
-image from that file. Write this image directly to your memory stick, which
-must be at least 128 mb in size. Of course this will destroy anything already
-on the memory stick. Then mount the memory stick, which will now have a FAT
-filesystem on it. Next, download a Debian netinst CD image, and copy that file
-to the memory stick; any filename is ok as long as it ends in ".iso".
-
-</para><para>
-
-There are other, more flexible ways to set up a memory stick to use the
-debian-installer, and it's possible to get it to work with smaller memory
-sticks. For details, see <xref linkend="boot-usb-files" />.

-
-Some BIOSes can boot USB storage directly, and some cannot. You may need to
-configure your BIOS to boot from a "removable drive" or even a "USB-ZIP" to
-get it to boot from the USB device. If it doesn't, you can boot from one
-floppy and use the USB stick for the rest of the install. For helpful hints

- <title>Booting from network</title>

-It's also possible to boot &d-i; completely from the net. The
-various methods to netboot depend on your architecture and netboot setup.
-The files in <filename>netboot/</filename> can be used to netboot &d-i;.
-
-</para><para arch="x86">
-
-The easiest thing to set up is probably PXE netbooting. Untar the
-file <filename>netboot/pxeboot.tar.gz</filename> into
-<filename>/var/lib/tftpboot</filename> or
-wherever is appropriate for your tftp server. Set up your DHCP server to pass

- <sect2 id="howto-getting-images-hard-disk">
- <title>Booting from hard disk</title>
-<para>
-
-It's possible to boot the installer using no removable media, but just an
-existing hard disk, which can have a different OS on it. Download
-<filename>hd-media/initrd.gz</filename>, <filename>hd-media/vmlinuz</filename>,
-and a Debian CD image to the top-level directory of the hard disk. Make sure
-that the CD image has a filename ending in ".iso". Now it's just a matter of

-Once the installer starts, you will be greeted with an initial screen. Press
-&enterkey; to boot, or read the instructions for other boot
-methods and parameters (see <xref linkend="boot-parms" />).

-If you want a 2.6 kernel, type <userinput>linux26</userinput> at the

-After a while you will be asked to select your language. Use the arrow keys
-to pick a language and press &enterkey; to continue. Next you'll be asked to
-select your country, with the choices including countries where your
-language is spoken. If it's not on the short list, a list of all the
-countries in the world is available.

-
-You may be asked to confirm your keyboard layout. Choose the default unless
-you know better.

-
-Now sit back while debian-installer detects some of your hardware, and
-loads the rest of itself from CD, floppy, USB, etc.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Next the installer will try to detect your network hardware and set up
-networking by DHCP. If you are not on a network or do not have DHCP, you
-will be given the opportunity to configure the network manually.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Now it is time to partition your disks. First you will be given the
-opportunity to automatically partition either an entire drive, or free
-space on a drive. This is recommended for new users or anyone in a hurry,
-but if you do not want to autopartition, choose manual from the menu.
-
-</para><para>
-
-On the next screen you will see your partition table, how the partitions
-will be formatted, and where they will be mounted. Select a partition to
-modify or delete it. If you did automatic partitioning, you should just be
-able to choose "Finished partitioning" from the menu to use what it set up.
-Remember to assign at least one partition for swap space and to mount a
-partition on <filename>/</filename>. <xref linkend="partitioning" /> has more information
-about partitioning.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Now &d-i; formats your partitions and starts to install the base system,
-which can take a while. That is followed by installing a kernel.
-
-</para><para>
-
-The last step is to install a boot loader. If the installer detects
-other operating systems on your computer, it will add them to the boot menu
-and let you know.
-<phrase arch="x86">By default GRUB will be installed to the master boot
-record of the first harddrive, which is generally a good choice. You'll be
-given the opportunity to override that choice and install it elsewhere.

-
-&d-i; will now tell you that the installation has
-finished. Remove the cdrom or other boot media and hit &enterkey;
