This is one of the CD-ROMs of the
235
<a href="http://www.debian.org/">Debian GNU/Linux</a>
236
distribution. Debian is a
237
very extensive collection of software. But it is more. It is a complete
238
Operating System (OS) for your computer. And it is
239
<A href="http://www.debian.org/intro/free">free</A>
240
(as in "freedom").
242
An operating system is the set of basic programs
243
and utilities that make your computer run. At the core of an operating
244
system is the kernel. The kernel is the most fundamental program on the
245
computer, which does all the basic housekeeping and lets you start other
247
Debian is kernel independent. It currently uses the
248
<A href="http://www.linux.org/">Linux</A> kernel but work is
249
in progress to provide Debian for other kernels, using
250
<A href="http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd.html">the Hurd</A>.
251
Most of the basic operating system tools
252
come from the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/">GNU project</A>; hence the name
256
Debian is available for various kinds of computers
257
("architectures"), like
258
"IBM-compatible" PCs (<i>i386</i>),
259
Compaq's <i>Alpha</i>,
260
Motorola's 680x0 (<i>m68k</i>),
262
Motorola/IBM's <i>PowerPC</i>, and <i>(Strong)ARM</i> processors.

This CD-ROM is labeled
299
which means that this CD is number DISKNUM of TOTALNUM CDs containing
301
programs ("binaries") for `ARCH' computers.
303
The programs on the Binary CDs are ordered by popularity. The Binary-1 CD
304
contains the most popular programs and the installation tools; it is possible
305
to install and run Debian with only the Binary-1 CD. The other CDs, up to
306
Binary-TOTALNUM, contain mostly special-interest programs.
309
the source code of programs in the Debian OS.
311
The source packages on the Source CDs are ordered by popularity, like
312
the programs on the Binary CDs. This means that the source code of the
313
programs on the Binary-DISKNUM CD can most likely be found on this CD
314
(though there may be some variation due to size issues).

Because Debian is a complete Operating System, the installation procedure
338
may seem a bit unusual. You can install Debian GNU/Linux either
339
<i>next to</i> your current OS, or as <i>only</i> OS on your computer.

For the impatient ones:

#if ARCHi386 || ARCHalpha || ARCHsparc
364
you can start the installation program easily by booting off this CD-ROM.

You should keep in mind that this is an unofficial CD of the current
410
development version of the Debian system. This means that all sorts of
411
bugs may be present anywhere in the system.

After installing or upgrading, Debian's packaging system can use CD-ROMs,
443
local collections, or networked servers (FTP, HTTP) to automatically
444
install software from (<tt>.deb</tt> <i>packages</i>). This is done
445
preferably with the `apt' and `aptitude' programs.
449
You can install packages from the commandline using
450
<tt>apt-get</tt>. For example, if you want to install the packages
451
`commprog' and `maxgame', you can give the command
454
apt-get install commprog maxgame
457
Note that you don't have to enter the complete path, or the
458
`<tt>.deb</tt>' extension. `Apt' will figure this out itself.
460
Or use aptitude for a full screen interactive selection of available
