I recommend you to read the installation manual while doing the installation. good luck Rhodri Here the instalation manual http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual and here the pages where you have images to burn the cd with http://www.debian.org/CD/ if you've got a x86 intel and bandwith, the easiest option is to download images using ftp or http Here you have one situated in your country http://ftp.zcu.cz/ftp/pub/linux/debian-cd/3.0_r0/i386/ for example, choose the binary-1.iso --- Mirek Dobsicek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > A friend of mine would like to install debian at his > home computer, > but he dont want to bother with all 7 CDs. > > He would like to burn one CD with base system and > desired packages and > at home install from this CD. > > My question is how can he easily download wanted > packages with > dependencies... .
