This is getting on my nerves...

* go to www.debian.org
* note the section `Getting Started', which is the second below
  `What is Debian'
* actually _read_ this section (all of both sentences), and discover you
  need to click on the link Release information in this section.
* click
* Note the header `New Installations', and the links

    Install Manual for SPARC 
    Install Manual for Intel x86 
    Install Manual for Alpha 
    Install Manual for Motorola 680x0 

  below it.
* click on, say `Install Manual for Intel x86' (if that is what you
  want)
* you now find yourself reading the installation manual

All this involves *two* clicks from the main debian pages, and reading
maybe 30 lines of text.  If this `definitely not easy' for someone, I
figure this person needs to acquire some more basic computer skills
before attempting to install anything at all on their computer.
