For some quick links to installation images, check out the
debian-installer
home page.
The debian-cd team provides builds of installation images using debian-installer
on the
Debian CD/DVD page.
For more information on where to get installation images, see Section 4.1, “Official Debian GNU/Hurd installation images”.
Some installation methods require other images than those for optical media.
The debian-installer
home page has links to
other images.
Section 4.2.1, “Where to Find Installation Files” explains how to find images on Debian
mirrors.
The subsections below will give the details about which images you should get for each possible means of installation.
The netinst CD image is a popular image which can be used to install
trixie with the debian-installer
. This installation method is intended to boot from the image and
install additional packages over a network; hence the name “netinst”.
The image has the software components needed to run the installer and
the base packages to provide a minimal trixie system. If you'd
rather, you can get a DVD image which will not need the network
to install. You only need the first image of such set.
Download whichever type you prefer and burn it to an optical disc. To boot the disc, you may need to change your BIOS/UEFI configuration, as explained in Section 3.6.1, “Invoking the BIOS/UEFI Set-Up Menu”.
