- -Welcome to the exciting world of - -
- -Debian GNU/Linux! - -

- -

-Intro -

- -

-This is one disc in a set containing 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"). -

-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 4.0 r5 "Etch" - Official i386 BC Binary-1 20081024-15:52 - -

-which means that this disc is number 1 of a set of 1 discs. -The packages on this disc contain programs ("binaries") for 'ARCH' computers. -

-The packages on the Binary discs are ordered by popularity. The Binary-1 disc -contains the most popular programs and the installation tools; it is possible -to install and run Debian with only the Binary-1 disc. -It is unlikely that you will need all of the 1 discs in the set. The -higher the number in the set, the less likely it is that you will use any of -the packages on that disc; higher-number images contain mostly special-interest -programs. -

-The Release Notes for "etch" 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. -

- Programs and other files that are needed for the installation can be found on - this disc under -

- - /tools/ - - and - - /install/floppy/ - - -

- 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 examine the -

- - /install - -

- directory; you might be able to start the installation system directly - from there. - - -

-Last-Minute Notes -

- -

This is an official release of the Debian 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. - -

- 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 - aptitude. For example, if you want to install the packages - 'commprog' and 'maxgame', you can give the command -

- - aptitude 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). - -
