The business card iso does not have much, it sets up a network connection and downloads everything..so you need a net connection. The netinstall iso has the base system on it so you have a minimal install to work with, none of the 'standard' set of packages no X. So CD1 would be useful if you don't have a net connection. -- Peace, Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
