<p>
This is one disc in a set containing the
<a href="http://www.debian.org/">Debian GNU/Linux</a>
distribution. Debian is a
very extensive collection of software. But it is more. It is a complete
Operating System (OS) for your computer. And it is
<A href="http://www.debian.org/intro/free">free</A>
(as in "freedom").
<P>
An operating system is the set of basic programs
and utilities that make your computer run. At the core of an operating
system is the kernel. The kernel is the most fundamental program on the
computer, which does all the basic housekeeping and lets you start other
programs.
Debian is kernel independent. It currently uses the
<A href="http://www.linux.org/">Linux</A> kernel but work is
in progress to provide Debian for other kernels, using
<A href="http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd.html">the Hurd</A>.
Most of the basic operating system tools
come from the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/">GNU project</A>; hence the name
GNU/Linux.
<P>
Debian is available for various kinds of computers
("architectures"), like
"IBM-compatible" PCs (<i>i386</i>),
Compaq's <i>Alpha</i>,
Sun's <i>Sparc</i>,
Motorola/IBM's <i>PowerPC</i>, and <i>(Strong)ARM</i> processors.

About This Disc
#if OUTPUTtext
<br>
=============

</H2>
</a>
<p>
This disc is labeled
<P>
<tt>
DISKNAME
</tt>
<P>
#ifndef UNOFFEXTRAS
#if COMPLETE
which means that this disc is number DISKNUM of a set of TOTALNUM discs.
#else
This image does not contain all packages needed to install a standard Debian
system. During the installation you will be prompted for the location of a
network mirror from where additional packages will be retrieved.
#endif
#if TYPEbinary
The packages on this disc contain programs ("binaries") for 'ARCH' computers.
#if ARCHia64 && !ARCHamd64
<P><strong>Note:</strong> this image only supports systems based on
Intel Itanium processors; for the more common Intel EM64T processors,
please see the Debian amd64 architecture.
#endif
<P>
#if COMPLETE
The packages on the Binary discs are ordered by popularity. The Binary-1 disc
contains the most popular programs and the installation tools; it is possible
to install and run Debian with only the Binary-1 disc.
#if TOTALNUM > 1
It is unlikely that you will need all of the TOTALNUM discs in the set. The
higher the number in the set, the less likely it is that you will use any of
the packages on that disc; higher-number images contain mostly special-interest
programs.
#endif
<P>
#endif
#if OMIT_RELEASE_NOTES
The Release Notes for "etch" are available on the <A
href="http://www.debian.org/releases/etch/releasenotes">Debian web
site</A>.
#else
#if DISKNUM == 1
The Release Notes for Debian GNU/Linux "etch" are included on this disc
in <A href=%%""doc/release-notes/%%"">/doc/release-notes/</a>, in
several languages. Additional translations and updated versions for
the Release Notes may be available from the <A
href="http://www.debian.org/releases/etch/releasenotes">Debian web
site</A>.
#else
See the first disc in this set for the "etch" Release Notes.

<p>
#if TYPEbinary
Because Debian is a complete Operating System, the installation procedure
may seem a bit unusual. You can install Debian GNU/Linux either
<i>alongside</i> your current OS, or as the <i>only</i> OS on your computer.

An <b>Installation Guide</b> for this disc is available from
<A href="http://www.debian.org/releases/etch/installmanual">the Debian web site</a>.

<P>
Several translations of the Installation Guide are included on this disc in
the <tt><A href="doc">doc/</a></tt> directory, along with various other documents.
<br>
Note: additional translations, other formats (like PDF and TXT) and updated
versions for the Installation Guide are available from

<P>
For the impatient ones:
#endif
#if ARCHi386 || ARCHamd64 || ARCHalpha || ARCHsparc
you can start the installation program easily by booting off this disc.
Note that not all (esp. older) systems support this.
<P>
#endif
#if ARCHi386 || ARCHamd64 || ARCHpowerpc
You can examine the
<P>
<tt>
<a href="install/">/install</a>

directory; you might be able to start the installation system directly
from there.

The installation tools of the Debian Operating System are located on the

</a>
<p>
After installing or upgrading, Debian's packaging system can use CDs, DVDs,
local collections, or networked servers (FTP, HTTP) to automatically
install software from (<tt>.deb</tt> <i>packages</i>). This is done
preferably with the 'apt' and 'aptitude' programs.
<P>
You can install packages from the commandline using
<tt>aptitude</tt>. For example, if you want to install the packages
'commprog' and 'maxgame', you can give the command
<P>
<tt>
aptitude install commprog maxgame
</tt>
<P>
Note that you don't have to enter the complete path, or the
'<tt>.deb</tt>' extension. 'Apt' will figure this out itself.
<P>
Or enter just <tt>aptitude</tt> to interactively select available Debian
packages using a full screen user interface.
