+Intro

+</a>
+<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 &quot;freedom&quot;).
+<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
+(&quot;architectures&quot;), like
+&quot;IBM-compatible&quot; 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.
+Check the <A href="http://www.debian.org/ports">ports</A> page
+for more information.

+About This Disc
+</H2>
+</a>
+<p>
+This disc is labeled
+<P>
+<tt>&nbsp;
+ Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 r5 "Etch" - Official i386 BC Binary-1 20081024-15:52
+</tt>
+<P>
+which means that this disc is number 1 of a set of 1 discs.
+The packages on this disc contain programs ("binaries") for 'ARCH' computers.
+<P>
+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.
+It is unlikely that you will need all of the 1 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.
+<P>
+The Release Notes for "etch" are available on the <A
+href="http://www.debian.org/releases/etch/releasenotes">Debian web
+site</A>.
+
+
+<P><HR><P><H2><A name="install">
+Installing
+</H2>
+</a>
+<p>
+
+ 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.
+ <P>
+ 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>
+ Programs and other files that are needed for the installation can be found on
+ this disc under
+ <P>
+ <tt>&nbsp;
+ <A href="tools/">/tools/</a>
+ </tt>
+ and
+ <tt>&nbsp;
+ <A href="install/floppy/">/install/floppy/</a>
+ </tt>
+
+ <P>
+ For the impatient ones:
+
+ you can start the installation program easily by booting off this disc.
+ Note that not all (esp. older) systems support this.
+ <P>
+
+ You can examine the
+ <P>
+ <tt>&nbsp;
+ <a href="install/">/install</a>
+ </tt>
+ <P>
+ directory; you might be able to start the installation system directly
+ from there.

+ Using Apt
+ </H2>
+ </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>&nbsp;
+ 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 use aptitude for a full screen interactive selection of available
+ Debian packages.
