Well, this applies only, if you have that other OS preinstalled.

However, debian can also be installed via usb stick, if the bios
supports booting from it.

USB Memory Stick

Many Debian boxes need their floppy and/or CD-ROM drives only for
setting up the system and for rescue purposes. If you operate some
servers, you will probably already have thought about omitting those
drives and using an USB memory stick for installing and (when necessary)
for recovering the system. This is also useful for small systems which
have no room for unnecessary drives.
