check the installation media and booting parts of the installation manual to see which method fits u the best. for usb stick booting and installing, it's a one-liner as documented in the manual[1] run the command below with root permission. $cat /path/to/your/debian-stable-amd64-i386-netinst.iso > /dev/sdX replace /dev/sdX with the path to ur usb device. make sure that u backup the whole disk, since the partition table will be overwritten. if u don't feel comfortable with `cat', use $dd if=/path/to/image.iso of=/dev/sdX btw, if u already have *nix installed on the target machine, no external media is required for installing debian. fetch the iso file and Grub/Lilo boot files, add the menu entry for ur bootloader, reboot and you'll see the debian installation interface. see the manual[2] for details.
