Especially since 5.10 will be out by then.

due to some reasons i can only download iso images & then install distros...

www.debian.org shows me 14iso images!!!!

wat all do i download for 3.1Sarge??

as i said earlier...for some reasons i can download only large files....downloading individual packages is not an option for me

**ordoni** · 08-23-2005

the first two CDs should be sufficient for a system with desktop environment (gnome and kde)........the rest are for the 15K packages tweaked to work under debian + source

personally, i use net-repository to install individual packages and do updates, with synaptic

if you can only download large files, then you better figure out what packages you need and then download the CDs containing these packages.......... still it is recommended that you setup your system with the first two CDs

what you can do is download the .jigdo from
from http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/...i386/jigdo-cd/
and use zless to see what packages it includes....

output will be like this

Code:
