What's in this directory?
These are files containing the installer and other software
for the Debian GNU/kFreeBSD operating system.
The files in this directory are specifically for
the kfreebsd-amd64 architecture.
How do I use these files?
The files here are bittorrent files. Use
a bittorrent
client program to download the contents of the complete ISO image
files in a peer-to-peer manner. You should end up with an exact
copy of each ISO image as though you'd downloaded it directly via
HTTP or FTP.
Once you have downloaded all the ISO images you want, you will
typically need to write them to installation media.
What size and type of media will I need?
The images described here are sized to be written to
writeable CD media
at a minimum, but may be written to larger media if needed.
There are lots of files here! Do I need all of them?
In most cases it is not necessary to download and
use all of these images to be able to install
Debian on your computer. Debian comes with a massive set of
software packages, hence why it takes so many disks for a
complete set. Most typical users only need a small subset of
those software packages.
Initially, you will only need to download and use
the first image of a set (labelled as
debian-something-1 to be able to start the
Debian installer and set up Debian on your computer. If there are
more images available here
(labelled debian-something-2,
debian-something-3, etc.), they contain the
extra packages that can be installed on a Debian system (as
mentioned previously). They will not be bootable
and are entirely optional. If you have a fast Internet
connection, you're most likely better off installing any desired
extra packages directly from the Debian mirrors on the Internet
instead of by using these extra images.
There are different versions of CD #1 here to allow for a
choice of default desktop on installation,
e.g. debian-something-kde-CD-1 contains the
core pieces of the KDE desktop and will default to installing
that desktop when used. The default desktop
installed using
debian-something-CD-1 is Gnome.
The netinst CD here is a small CD image that
contains just the core Debian installer code and a small core set
of text-mode programs (known as "standard" in Debian). To install
a desktop or other common software, you'll also need either an
Internet connection or some other Debian CD/DVD images.
The update files here are extra convenience files
for people updating from previous versions of Debian. If you are
installing fresh, you may safely ignore
them. More
details...
How can I verify my download is correct and exactly what has
been created by Debian?
There are files here (MD5SUMS, SHA1SUMS, etc.) which contain
checksums of the images. These checksum files are also signed - see
MD5SUMS.sign, SHA1SUMS.sign, etc. Once you've downloaded an image,
you can check:
- that its checksum matches that expected from the checksum file; and
- that the checksum file has not been tampered with.
For more information about how to do these steps, read
the verification guide.
