-
- Welcome to the exciting world of
- Debian GNU/Linux
-
- This disc contains the installer for the Debian GNU/Linux
- distribution. Debian is a very extensive collection of software. But
- it is more. It is a complete Operating System (OS) for your computer.
- And it is free (as in "freedom").

-Introduction
-============
-
- An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that
- make your computer run. 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 Linux
- kernel but work is in progress to provide Debian for other kernels,
- using the Hurd. Most of the basic operating system tools come from the
- GNU project; hence the name GNU/Linux.
-
- Debian is available for various kinds of computers ("architectures"),
- like "IBM-compatible" PCs (i386), Compaq's Alpha, Sun's Sparc,
- Motorola/IBM's PowerPC, and (Strong)ARM processors. Check the ports
- page for more information.

-About This Disc
-===============
-
- This disc is labeled
-
- Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.0 "Lenny" - Official i386 NETINST Binary-1
- 20090214-14:36
-
- It contains programs ("binaries") for `i386' computers.
-
- This disc is a netinst image. It contains the installer and a very
- basic system. Any other packages you might want to install will be
- downloaded from the network.
-
- The Release Notes for "lenny" are available on the Debian web site.
-
-Installing
-==========
-
- Because Debian is a complete Operating System, the installation
- procedure may seem a bit unusual. You can install Debian GNU/Linux
- either alongside your current OS, or as the only OS on your computer.
-
- An Installation Guide for this disc is available from the Debian web
- site.
-
- 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.
-
- You can also examine the /install/ directory; you might be able to
- start the installation system directly from there.
-
-Last-Minute Notes
-=================
-
- * 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
- bugs.debian.org.
- * 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 /.disk/info.
-
-Installing software using Apt
-=============================
-
- 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 packages). This is done
- preferably with the `apt' and `aptitude' programs.
-
- 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:
-
- apt-get install commprog maxgame
-
- Note that you don't have to enter the complete path, or the `.deb'
- extension. `Apt' will figure this out itself.
-
- Or use aptitude for a full screen interactive selection of available
- Debian packages.
-
-CD/DVD Manufacturers
-====================
-
- 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).
