Re: jigdo-lite for windows (from debian-cd list)

Hi,

we should move this to debian-user mailing list, as it is more
about installing from the MS-Windows world and not about the
installation ISOs themselves.

Please send your further replies to
  debian-user@lists.debian.org

The start of the thread is (in french) at
  https://lists.debian.org/debian-cd/2016/02/msg00010.html
and switches to english at
  https://lists.debian.org/debian-cd/2016/02/msg00012.html
I demonstrated a jigdo-lite download on Debian in
  https://lists.debian.org/debian-cd/2016/02/msg00014.html

I assume you will get proposed some other mirror address.

This does not influence the content of the DVD images you get.
"mirror" means "identical copy" here. They exist just to distribute
the workload over many different network parts.

The installation procedure will ask you for your preferred language.
(I choose US english because it matches best my keyboard and i do
 not have to translate german texts back to enlish in order to grasp
 their meaning.)


Maybe the people here on debian-user can give you more specific
advise if you tell us what kind of computer you want to equip with
Debian. Shall it still offer the opportunity to start MS-Windows ?
Do you need to perform special tasks or is it just to explore it ?


Have a nice day :)

The way may be long, depending on the destination.

Before you download all 13 DVD images by jigdo, you should have a plan
what to do with them. To burn them to 13 DVD media would be next. But
actually i assume you want to install Debian on some computer.

Tell us about it. Especially if there is a DVD drive and/or a
connection to the internet.
