RE: obtaining debian woody latest

I want to download the latest woody [no pun intended], I dont have a cd burner, but I have the bandwidth, could someone tell me about net based install or floppy based, the online installation manual points to one place and the uk ftp site is another and I dont understand. HELP!

Regards, Dean.

Your best options, as I see them:

1) Use jigdo to locate sites, download, and create images.  Debian mirrors 
don't contain pre-made images because Debian is so huge, but jigdo takes care 
of this for you and is ported to several OS's. 
http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/

2) Buy the CDs at a very low cost, if you don't have a fast internet 
connection or don't want the trouble of downloading
http://www.debian.org/CD/vendors/

3) download a minimimal installation image then install the rest package by 
package: 
http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/

You will see more options at http://www.debian.org/CD

Debian offers some excellent documentation to help you get started.  The faq 
at http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/ and the installation guide at 
http://www.debian.org are invaluable.

And don't be afraid to ask questions on this list.

Enjoy!
