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 a PowerMac from CD, press the c key while booting. See ??? for other ways to boot from CD.

要完全從網路上啟動(即 netboot) debian-installer 也是可行的。而採取哪種方法來從網路啟動取決於您的硬體架構和網路啟動的相關設定。在 netboot/ 目錄裡的檔案是用來從網路啟動 debian-installer 。

It's possible to boot the installer using no removable media, but just an existing hard disk, which can have a different OS on it. Download hd-media/initrd.gz, hd-media/vmlinuz, and a Debian DVD image to the top-level directory of the hard disk. Make sure that the image has a filename ending in .iso. Now it's just a matter of booting linux with the initrd.
