wilson,
Hi everybody. I was wondering if anybody can suggest an easy way to install the latest debian in a laptop? I have gone over the the debian site and downloading 17 ISO images is quite a waste of bandwidth for me. I have ubuntu installed in this system and wanted to test debian for about a month to learn about it. Is it possible in debian to have a "server" type install like in ubuntu and later download and install the apps that I want to use?
you don't have to download the 17 iso's, just download disc 1 and if you have a fast internet connection you can install the applications you want via the repositories. afaik the install process of debian differs from the latest ubuntu 6.06, and yes it is possible to install server type app's, you can choose from the menu as to what type of server you want and unlike ubuntu which installs everything including services that you don't want.
