Installing Debian Etch Using The Etch-KDE Single CD
Summary
Debian is one of the popular and free ( Libre ) distributions of GNU/Linux. Debian Etch comes in multiple CD or DVD installations. However there is a single CD Etch-KDE distribution debian-40r1-i386-kde-CD-1.iso available that can be downloaded from the Debian mirrors. For the purpose of this installation, it was downloaded from a Taiwanese mirror using the following command.
wget -c url
The -c option allows you to continue broken downloads. The hardware used for installation was Pentium4 2.4 GHz., Intel original 845 GEBV2 motherboard, 256 MB DDR2 RAM, 80 GB IDE HDD.
Installation
After the cd iso is downloaded, burn it into a CD and boot your system with it. At the boot prompt, simply hit the enter key to select the default installation method.
Every stage in the installation process is accompanied by text details to help you make the right entries wherever required. When you come to the package installation part, it will ask you if you want to install packages from the CD or mirrors. If you have internet problems or have low download limits, choose the CD install. It will still look for security mirrors and download about 50 to 60 MB of security updates.
