Interested vendors can burn debian DVDs easily. Thanks, - -- Eray Ozkural (exa) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Comp. Sci.

Help with Debian GNU/Linux Installation
Hi I am trying to install Debian GNU/Linux on my PC. I have a few ?s. 1. Can I burn the kernel images, loadlin.exe, the driver files(.bin) and the base system files(.tgz) directly and use it for installation. OR shuld I burn it in some particular format like ISO and then use it??? I have access to a CD writer on Windows only. The software is DirectCD. How do I create an installation CD from this?? 2. Do I need the DOS Installer Batch files for CD ROM installation. If so why??

If so > why?? i don't really think you want to re-invent the wheel again in terms of producing a debian ISO image. you basically have a few different ways to install debian - you will want to read the documentation a bit more, or otherwise look at the LinuxDoc project (www.linuxdoc.org - pick your closest mirror) the short answer is: you can install debian via the network - download the boot images, write to them to a floppy and boot from them. then do your installation via http or ftp from your closest debian archive (mirror, or otherwise) you can install debian via a pre-built ISO image. the latest stable release (potato - 2.2.r4) is available a number of different methods. go to http://cdimage.debian.org and use their system to figure out how to create or obtain a cd image. there are a number of sites out there which also directly make cd images available - our local mirror is http://planetmirror.com/pub/debian-cd/ once you have the 3 ISO images, burn them and then boot from them assuming your hardware supports bootable installation. -jason -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
