At the core of an - operating system is the kernel. The kernel is the most - fundamental program on the computer, which does all the basic - housekeeping and lets you start other programs. Debian is - kernel independent. It currently uses the <a href= - "http://www.linux.org/">Linux</a> kernel but work is in - progress to provide Debian for other kernels, using <a href= - "http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd.html">the Hurd</a>. Most - of the basic operating system tools come from the <a href= - "http://www.gnu.org/">GNU project</a>; hence the name - GNU/Linux.</p> - - <p>Debian is available for various kinds of computers - (“architectures”), like “IBM-compatible” PCs (<em>i386</em>), - Compaq's <em>Alpha</em>, Sun's <em>Sparc</em>, Motorola/IBM's - <em>PowerPC</em>, and <em>(Strong)ARM</em> processors. Check the - <a href="http://www.debian.org/ports">ports</a> page for more - information.</p> - - <p><a href="http://www.debian.org/intro/about">Read more...</a></p> - - <h2 id="thisdisc"> - About This Disc - </h2> - - <p>This disc is labeled - <small><strong>Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.0 "Lenny" - Official i386 NETINST Binary-1 20090214-14:36</strong></small> - . - It contains programs ("binaries") for `i386' computers.</p> - <p>This disc is a <em>netinst</em> image. It contains the installer and - a very basic system. Any other packages you might want to install will - be downloaded from the network.</p> - <p>The Release Notes for "lenny" are available on the - <a href="http://www.debian.org/releases/lenny/releasenotes">Debian web - site</a>.</p> - - <h2 id="install"> - Installing - </h2> - - <p>Because Debian is a complete Operating System, the - installation procedure may seem a bit unusual. You can install - Debian GNU/Linux either <em>alongside</em> your current OS, or as - the <em>only</em> OS on your computer.</p> - <p>An <b>Installation Guide</b> for this disc is available from - <a href="http://www.debian.org/releases/lenny/installmanual">the - Debian web site</a>.</p> - </p> - - <p>For the impatient ones: you can start the installation program easily by - booting off this disc. Note that not all (esp. older) systems support - this.</p> - - <p>You can also examine the <tt><a href="install/">/install/</a></tt> - directory; you might be able to start the installation system directly - from there.</p> - - - <h2 id="lastmin"> - Last-Minute Notes - </h2> - - <ul> - <li>You should keep in mind that this is a beta disc of the current - development version of the Debian system. This means that all sorts of - bugs may be present anywhere in the system. Please report any bugs you - find in the Debian Bug Tracking System; details at <a - href="http://bugs.debian.org/">bugs.debian.org</a>.</li> - - <li>If you're reporting bugs against this disc or the installation - system, please also mention the version of this disc; this can be found - in the file <tt><a href="/.disk/info">/.disk/info</a></tt>.</li> - - </ul> - - <h2 id="apt"> - Installing software using Apt - </h2> - - <p>After installing or upgrading, Debian's packaging system can - use CDs, DVDs, local collections, or networked servers (FTP, - HTTP) to automatically install software from (.deb - <em>packages</em>). This is done preferably with the ‘apt’ and - ‘aptitude’ programs.</p> - - <p>You can install packages from the commandline using - apt-get. For example, if you want to install the - packages ‘commprog’ and ‘maxgame’, you can give the - command:</p> - - <p> - <code>apt-get install commprog maxgame</code> - </p> - - <p>Note that you don't have to enter the complete path, or the - ‘.deb’ extension. ‘Apt’ will figure this out - itself.</p> - - <p>Or use aptitude for a full screen interactive selection of - available Debian packages.</p> - - <h2 id="cdmanuf"> - CD/DVD Manufacturers - </h2> - - <p>You are completely free to manufacture and re-distribute CDs/DVDs of the - Debian GNU/Linux Operating System, like this one. There is no charge from - us (but of course donations are always welcome).</p> - - <p>For all needed information and contact addresses, please - refer to:</p> - - <p> - <a href="http://www.debian.org/CD/">http://www.debian.org/CD/</a> - </p> - - <h2 id="other"> - More Information - </h2> - - - <p>There is much more information present on this disc.
