Downloading Debian
I'm trying to download Debian for my home media server but I'm having touble finding a good SIMPLE copy. When I searched Debian's site I found this download page http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/7.7.0/amd64/bt-dvd/ is there not small simple Debian that doesn't take up 3 DVD or God knows how many CDs. I want a simple debian ISO that can fit on one CD or DVD and I need to be able to install it without installing the GUI package. Thanks.

If you have a solid internet connection, you can use the Net Install version. If you want to try it, it's best to use a wired connection during the install.
I've used it several times and it has worked every time. Normally, because I am a cautious sort of person, I'd burn a full set of discs, but I never had to insert disk two. |
The net install is a very small image and if you have any kind of decent connection it is great.
If you are installing a server with no DE that is really the best way to go. All the default install disks have a lot stuff on them that you will not need at all. |
i take it you have not read any of the install guides .
you ONLY!!!! NEED!!!! the first dvd "debian-update-7.7.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso" the second and rest are for OFF LINE INSTALLING debian-cd/7.7.0/amd64/bt-dvd/ and you do know that the torrent files in the Bit torrent folder are torrent files and you could always use the LIVE CD https://www.debian.org/CD/live/ "debian-live-7.7.0-amd64-standard.iso" is only 641 Meg or the net install https://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst then just DO NOT install the desktop that option is in the installer |
I ended up using the live CD but I will remember the net install for next time. I've never tried that one before but after hearing from you all I think I might give it a try. John VV I do know the difference between a torrent file and the file it is intended to download. Thanks all.
