RE: installing debian

[Ross Dawson]

The Athlon processor falls under i386 architecture so you can start there.  AMD processors (Athlon & Duron) are Intel processor compatible and the i386 refers to the Intel 80386 predecessor to the Pentium series.    A good start would be here http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/i386/install which is the soon to be released Debian 3.0 or "Woody".  It's still in the final stages of release but it's pretty stable and I believe it is recommended for new installs (others can correct me if I'm wrong).   If you must run the older "Potato" Debian 2.2 then you can find install docs here http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/install    HTH   Ross   -----Original Message----- From: mcf [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 31, 2002 4:33 PM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: installing debian Hi, I need to install Debian and I've looked at some of the information about installation and I understand the first step is to read material specific to individual infrastructure for example, alpha, sparc, power pc. . . .   I have an AMD athlon processor Iand an asus motherboard I don't see that this corresponds to the available options of infrastructure listed?  Does it?  what type of infrastrucutre should I relate to?  Can someone please advise me?  Much thanx in advance.   MCF
