Yes.

I suppose the standard Debian installation pages:

<http://www.debian.org/>

One word of caution, however, is if the machine you are installing
onto has limited memory, then you might want to try the potato boot
disks and go from there. (For my ISA-only 486 machine, the potato
idepci boot disks did the trick as where the others stalled.)

There is an installation named "Dlite" (Debian Lite) that I only
recently found out about and I have not used it personally. But, from
what I understand, it is for systems with limited disk space and
limited memory.
