[normal installer CDs/DVDs] |
These are the classic Debian install CDs/DVDs. They contain the installer
for installing Debian onto a computer, as well as all the packages. |
[live DVD/USB] |
These images contain a live-system, that means they contain a Debian
system that can boot and run directly from the DVD or USB stick without
being installed to the hard disc first. You can however also use these
images to install Debian to the hard disc if you want to.
Note that these are currently only available for the standard PC
x86_64/i386 architectures, not for the many other architectures
supported by Debian. |
[netinst CD] |
These are minimal bootable CD images for installation via network. They
contain just the installer and network drivers. Everything else will
be downloaded from the network during installation. |
