wrong: the debian web site has the following live CDs available as bit torrents at

 

http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/i386/bt-hybrid/

 

debian-live-6.0.6-i386-gnome-desktop.iso.torrent

debian-live-6.0.6-i386-kde-desktop.iso.torrent

debian-live-6.0.6-i386-lxde-desktop.iso.torrent

debian-live-6.0.6-i386-rescue.iso.torrent

debian-live-6.0.6-i386-standard.iso.torrent

debian-live-6.0.6-i386-xfce-desktop.iso.torrent

the same disks are available as ISOs from

 

http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/i386/iso-hybrid/

 

which is also from the debian web site...

 

are you sure you truly "understand" your "little Debian"?

i did: both the bit torrents and the ISOs are located on a sub-domain of debian.org!

 

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

if i go to http://www.debian.org/CD/ it gives me a link to download the CD/DVD image using bit torrent, which leads to http://www.debian.org/CD/torrent-cd/ and, from there, i am offered a range of different processors, and when i choose i386, i end up at http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.6/i386/bt-cd/

 

which is on /the/ /same/ /server/ (cdimage.debian.org) as the live CDs... the only difference is that if i go to http://www.debian.org/CD/ i am /NOT/ offered a live-cd option, which i wanted to be sure that it was, indeed, what i wanted /before/ i took the plunge and installed the damned thing.
