Hi! Have been wanting to try out Debian for so long, but never managed to get my hands on it. Finally I land up at this client site where we have a good net access, and so am thinking of downloading the ISOs to give them a shot on my home machine.
Unfortunately the proxy and firewalls here do not allow me to use jigdo or bit-torrent, and so the only way for me to download the ISOs are by downloading them directly. Over a day or two I managed to download the first of the ISO files. After downloading, I figure that maybe I should have downloaded the non-US version -- frankly, I hadn't noticed that there's a non-US version too present -- and so am now thinking: is there any way I can "convert" the US version ISO file into a non-US version? Maybe using jigdo or something (which I can do from home over my dial-up). Or I can install with the US version and then fetch the non-US packages or something? But that asked, is there anything specifically missing in the US-version that might be of use to an end-user? Based on briefly going through the FAQ etc, I understand the non-US version contains stuff (cryptographic etc) that are not present in the US version ... is there anything more (critical/ useful)? Thanks in advance, Rakhesh ps. One more question: how come there are SEVEN ISOs for download? Just to get things up and running (and the with the typical end-user applications) how many of these do I have to download? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
