What's in debian-40r0-alpha-kde-CD-1.iso?

I received a 200 4/233 "Mustang+" from a friend a few days ago.
This is my first 64-bit CPU and I am still undecided of what to do with it.
My first instinct is to turn it into a workstation, for this I decided on Debian 4.

I went to debian.org and I decided I am going to go with netinst,
(http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/...ha-netinst.iso)

when I discovered a KDE .iso:
(http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/...a-kde-CD-1.iso)

Now I am a KDE aficiando and would like to use the K suite for everything,
and exclude all non-KDE GUI apps.

How do I use the kde-CD-1.iso? Is it bootable? Can I tell netinst to use the KDE ISO and get
everything else it might need from the net?

(There's also a seperate ISO for the XFCE window manager)

Are you sure you have an ALPHA CPU?

I would believe you have an AMD64 compatible CPU, not an ALPHA.

It sure is. Says "DEC AlphaStation 200 4/233 Mustang+" right on the front, oh and the diagrams and descriptions in the "DEC AlphaStation 200 400 series" technical reference manual by DEC confirm it.

Sorry then. Some people just tend to be confused by all those architectures choices at first. I thought that was your case.

That certainly is a nice machine.

So yes, the KDE CD is bootable. Like the Xfce one, they are both replacements for Debian Etch first CD, which uses Gnome.
