NETWORK INSTALL FROM A MINIMAL CD

A network install or netinst CD is a single CD which enables you to install the
entire operating system. This single CD contains just the minimal amount of
software to install the base system and fetch the remaining packages over the
Internet.

What's better for me — the minimal bootable CD-ROM or the full CDs? It depends,
but we think that in many cases the minimal CD image is better — above all, you
only download the packages that you selected for installation on your machine,
which saves both time and bandwidth. On the other hand, the full CDs are more
suitable when installing on more than one machine, or on machines without a free
Internet connection.

What types of network connections are supported during installation? The network
install assumes that you have a connection to the Internet. Various different
ways are supported for this, like analogue PPP dial-up, Ethernet, WLAN (with
some restrictions), but ISDN is not — sorry!

The following minimal bootable CD images are available for download:

 * Official netinst images for the stable release — see below
 * Images for the testing release — see the Debian-Installer page.
