Hi
I'm relatively new to Linux and in particular to the Debian distribution. I
have read through the installtion manual for Sarge and see that for a
(network-based) CD installation it is possible to use the following images:
debian-31r0a-i386-businesscard.iso
debian-31r0a-i386-netins

Thanx for the advice. I unfortunately don't have internet access at
