Installed cd-1 in a Vbox instance, used the 'no network mirror' option. Without a mirror I get two selections in the 'tasksel' dialog . 1. Debian desktop environment 2. standard This looks like a very large net install image . You will need more than one cd to have a desktop/ WM environment. I can remember installing Debian from floppies, it seems cd's are like floppies now. One dvd might contain enough for a complete graphical system, have not looked at the dvd's. -- Greg Madden Precision Air Balance, Inc.
