<!--<title>Overview of the Installation Process</title>-->
<title>Panoramica del processo d'installazione</title>
<para>
First, just a note about re-installations. With Debian, a
circumstance that will require a complete re-installation of your
system is very rare; perhaps mechanical failure of the hard disk would
be the most common case.
</para><para>
Many common operating systems may require a complete installation to
be performed when critical failures take place or for upgrades to new
OS versions. Even if a completely new installation isn't required,
often the programs you use must be re-installed to operate properly in
the new OS.
</para><para>
Under &debian;, it is much more likely that your OS can be repaired
rather than replaced if things go wrong. Upgrades never require a
wholesale installation; you can always upgrade in-place. And the
programs are almost always compatible with successive OS releases. If
a new program version requires newer supporting software, the Debian
packaging system ensures that all the necessary software is
automatically identified and installed. The point is, much effort has
been put into avoiding the need for re-installation, so think of it as
your very last option. The installer is <emphasis>not</emphasis>
designed to re-install over an existing system.

<para>
If you have problems during the installation, it helps to know which
packages are involved in which steps. Introducing the leading software
actors in this installation drama:
</para><para>
The installer software, <classname>debian-installer</classname>, is
the primary concern of this manual. It detects hardware and loads
appropriate drivers, uses <classname>dhcp-client</classname> to set up the
network connection, and runs <classname>debootstrap</classname> to install
the base system packages. Many more actors play smaller parts in this process,
but <classname>debian-installer</classname> has completed its task when
you load the new system for the first time.
</para><para>
Upon loading the new base system, <classname>base-config</classname>
supervises adding users, setting a time zone (via
<classname>tzsetup</classname>), and setting up the
package installation system (using <classname>apt-setup</classname>). It then
launches <classname>tasksel</classname> which can be used to select large
groups of related programs, and in turn can run <classname>aptitude</classname>
which allows you to choose individual software packages.
</para><para>
When <classname>debian-installer</classname> finishes, before the
first system load, you have only a very basic command line driven
system. The graphical interface which displays windows on your monitor
will not be installed unless you select it during the final steps,
with either <classname>tasksel</classname> or
<classname>aptitude</classname>. It's optional because many &debian;
systems are servers which don't really have any need for a graphical
user interface to do their job.
</para><para arch="not-s390">
Just be aware that the X system is completely separate from
<classname>debian-installer</classname>, and in fact is much more
complicated. Installation and trouble shooting of the X window
installation is not within the scope of this manual.
