It's pretty obvious to *most* of us that John was referring to an .iso file, presumably one that he had downloaded, and now was asking what to do with. So many of the replies in this thread have been disappointing. The best reply would be to point John to the Debian Installation Guide: <https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/amd64/> Specifically, Chapter 4, "Obtaining System Installation Media": <https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/amd64/ch04.en.html> This tells you what to do with the .iso file, if you're already on a Linux system with appropriate hardware. It also links to the Debian CD FAQ, which contains hints on what to do on non-Linux systems.
