I need it available when the network is not.
It would be convenient if a copy of the menus appearing when
installing from DVD1 were available.
Have you tried googling:
debian stable installation guide pdf amd64
which should lead you to:
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/install.en.pdf
Cheers,

No ;}
For two primary reasons:
1. due to vision/perception problems I avoid PDF in favor of HTML.
SeaMonkey simplifies consistent font size across documents.
2. My work style uses tabs to group (and save across restarts)
related references conveniently.
Secondarily, for those preferring PDF, in my use of SeaMonkey since days
of Squeeze I never noticed mention of its documentation being available
as PDF.
Because I'm doing a "from scratch" install for the first time in several
years, I said:

I recall most of what has to be accomplished but am hazy on some
details. So I went looking at https://www.debian.org/ from a "newbie"
point of view. ~Nada:{
Drilling down leads to https://www.debian.org/do_c/ which first points
our possibly non-geek newbie to "Installation Guide" and "Debian
GNU/Linux FAQ" which, though brimming with facts, are inconveniently
organized.
*HOWEVER* there is something _NEW_ on the page!
Who, me, excited ;}
There is now something called _The Debian Bookworm beginner’s handbook_
[ https://debian-beginners-handbook.tuxfamily.org/index-en.html ].
For reasons stated above I'll be using the HTML more than the PDF.
This resource should be linked to on https://www.debian.org/ or at most
down only one level.
I addresses some of my questions, though it only mentions others.
I'll be doing a lot of reading this weekend.
One question. There are two HTML versions. What's difference between
the_beginners_handbook.html and the_beginners_handbook_night.html ?
