You can buy a set from a vendor (see the +CD vendors page). +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 Debian CD page for +detailed instructions). If you have a Debian CD set and CDs are +bootable on your machine, you can skip right to +; 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. + + + +If your machine doesn't support CD booting, but you do have a CD set, +you can use an alternative strategy such as + +floppy disk, + +tape, emulated tape, + +hard disk, + +usb stick, + +net boot, + +or manually loading the kernel from the CD to initially boot the +system installer. The files you need for booting by another means are +also on the CD; the Debian network archive and CD folder organization +are identical. So when archive file paths are given below for +particular files you need for booting, look for those files in the +same directories and subdirectories on your CD. + + + +Once the installer is booted, it will be able to obtain all the other +files it needs from the CD. + + + +If you don't have a CD set, then you will need to download the +installer system files and place them on the + +installation tape + +floppy disk or + +hard disk or + +usb stick or + +a connected computer + +so they can be used to boot the installer. + + + + -- cgit v1.2.3
