Choose "Current" Assuming you are using an Intel or AMD PC, choose 'i386' Then click on "iso-cd" Then you can click on "debian-31r4-i386-binary-1.iso" This will contain everything to get a 'console system' and X windows. Get binary 2 for Gnome and Kde and more. Save these, burn to a cdrom. Then boot with binary CD #1 to begin. -- | .''`. == Debian GNU/Linux == | my web site: | | : :' : The Universal |mysite.verizon.net/kevin.mark/| | `. `' Operating System | go to counter.li.org and | | `- http://www.debian.org/ | be counted! #238656 | | my keysever: subkeys.pgp.net | my NPO: cfsg.org |
