Hi Jose, I think that would depend on your connection speed and whether you can find a potato image. I haven't looked too hard, but I don't know if there is a iso image for potato. I have a cable modem connection, so I just installed slink from a CD and upgraded to potato with apt. As far as burning under Windows, I use Adaptec's Easy CD Creator, and that has worked well for me. I haven't turned out a coaster in a long time. I tried another recording software (the name escapes me), but it was sold over the Internet. Oh, it was called CDRWin. I couldn't figure the thing out, and probably shelled out $40+ in CD-R blanks. Your mileage may vary. -- __ _ Mark Wagnon ( Debian GNU/ -o) / / (_)__ __ __ Chula Vista, CA) /\\/ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] ( _\_v/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\
Burning CD-Rs with Debian?
Hi! I finally managed to get access to a CDR writer connected to the Internet. I read the FAQ, but I think it is rather meagre in the information it provides. I'd like to know what is the latest version of debian that I might download (I guess it's slink.something). I'd like to know if I could download a version of potato (the official CD would be a slink based thing, woudln't it?), and how much size could one expect this mighty thing to take up (I know that potato probably takes up more than slink, but...). Also, what do I get for my money :) here? Do I just get main or do you get the non-free bits as well? Sorry if the questions are a bit stupid, but this is my first time. So far, I kept going with network installs, but now it's time to upgrade the old box at home. Thanks a lot!

yeah its slink.. id advise burning the cd in linux, or in unix at least I can't do that, I have to use a box that runs on Win95. j.l.go download a version of potato (the official CD would be a slink based thing, dont know if u can d/l an iso of potato..as for slink you get main and contrib i believe.
