Installing Debian 9.13
To install Debian 9.13 (stretch), download any of the following images (all i386 and amd64 CD/DVD images can be used on USB sticks too):
If any of the hardware in your system requires non-free firmware to be loaded with the device driver, you can use one of the tarballs of common firmware packages or download an unofficial image including these non-free firmwares. Instructions how to use the tarballs and general information about loading firmware during an installation can be found in the Installation Guide (see Documentation below).
Notes
- For downloading full CD and DVD images the use of BitTorrent or jigdo is recommended.
- For the less common architectures only a limited number of images from the CD and DVD sets is available as ISO file or via BitTorrent. The full sets are only available via jigdo.
- The multi-arch CD images support i386/amd64; the installation is similar to installing from a single architecture netinst image.
- The multi-arch DVD image supports i386/amd64; the installation is similar to installing from a single architecture full CD image; the DVD also includes the source for all included packages.
- For the installation images, verification files (SHA256SUMS, SHA512SUMS and other) are available from the same directory as the images.

Errata for release 9.0
- pkgsel did not install updates with ABI changes (by default)
- Bug #908711:
during installation with network sources enabled, the
installed security updates don't include updates that depend on a new
binary package, due to a kernel or library ABI change.
Status: This has been fixed in 9.6 - APT was vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack
- A bug in the APT HTTP transport method
(CVE-2019-3462)
could be exploited by an attacker located as a man-in-the-middle between APT
and a mirror to cause the installation of additional, malicious, packages.
This can be mitigated by disabling use of the network during initial installation and then upgrading following the instructions in DSA-4371.
Status: This has been fixed in 9.7
