Hello,

In a Newbie to Debian... and for maybe... 4 hours I thought Debian was a text based OS. I recently ordered Debian for my I686 System... and I went through the installation.. 4 or 5 times I kinda lost count... I thought I was doing it wrong... and there is a great possiblity that I am. Im stumped at the Login part... after installation... I only used the bootable Disc... and yet there are 7!.. whats going? and how do I get to the Desktop of Debian.. what do I have to do.... PLEASE TELL ME. please reply promply :(



Wow,,,, Where to begin. First, it appears that you are new to Linux entirely, not just Debian. If this is the case, I would normally recommend that you start with Knoppix, Libranet, or Xandros. Since you already have the Debian set, I suppose there's nothing to do but roll up the sleeves and get to work.

Having said that, there is an easy to follow tutorial to install Debian, at:
http://www.aboutdebian.com/install3.htm

Please study that site thoroughly; it will be your best friend for a while. If you have *specific* questions during the process, please ask them here. We'll all help.

Good Luck!
