Re: BE MORE SIMPLE!!!!
First of all, calm down. Debian is produced by volunteers, on their own
time. It's not a company and no one is being paid. So if you aren't
willing to work on the web site, at least be polite!

You don't have to do that. :-)
>From www.debian.org, click "Release Information" under "Getting Started"
(you might need to scroll down a bit). From that page, click "Install
Manual for Intel x86."
Alternatively, on the left-hand side of the page, click "Download FTP."
Scroll down a bit and click "Instructions for Installing Debian."
Alternatively, on the left-hand index, click "Installation Instructions"
then "Install Manual for Intel x86."
If you prefer, you can purchase a CD with a nice book describing the
install process from Linux Press; it's called the Debian User's Guide or
something like that. A similar book will be out from MacMillan in the near
future. You can also get CDs from various vendors; the web site may have
links to them.
There are also non-Debian options, such as Red Hat's box set, which comes
with install manual and phone support.
