Re: Debian GNU/Linux Guide to installation and usage

Hi:

  I think the safest way is to install from
FDs. Fro teh files you asked, check the section
5.2 in the installation manual at this address:

http://www.debian.org/releases/slink/i386/install

  After you installed, learn how to use "deselect".
It's a very convenient package-management tool. You
can then install desried Debain packages from the net.
