Hi Sandeep,
Installing debian is very easy if you know what you are doing. :)
Step 1: You need is either the first cd from the stable branch or the stable boot floppies.
Step2: Install the bare minimum debian system from the first cd or your boot floppies. this will get your network going.
Step3: edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change it to reflect your distro preference eg. Stable/Testing/Unstable. choose any of the debian mirrors debian.org and kernel.org have a the listing.
Step 4: do a apt-get update;apt-get upgrade.
Aaargh! You expect me to do a complete upgrade over network? I dont live in US dude! What about in amchi Dilli!
But I am sure if I have the sarge CDs I can use them in sources.list too, right? with apt-cdrom or something...
But do I still need the first woody boot CD? Doesnt Sarge come with one?
It is recommended that you run stable as you are most likely to get support for it from debian peers. Testing is also supported. but if you
No. Testing is for me .. even though the Debian site make ominous statements that even the testing doesnt have support.
Any clue as to which year in this millenium, the sarge is going to be stable? ;)
