This is one of the CD-ROMs of 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, 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>.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
Debian is available for various kinds of computers
|
|
("architectures"), like
|
|
"IBM-compatible" PCs (<i>i386</i>),
|
|
Compaq's <i>Alpha</i>,
|
|
Motorola's 680x0 (<i>m68k</i>),
|
|
Sun's <i>Sparc</i>,
|
|
Motorola/IBM's <i>PowerPC</i>, and <i>(Strong)ARM</i> processors.

|
|
<P>
|
|
The programs on the Binary CDs are ordered by popularity. The Binary-1 CD
|
|
contains the most popular programs and the installation tools; it is possible
|
|
to install and run Debian with only the Binary-1 CD. The other CDs, up to

<P>

The source packages on the Source CDs are ordered by popularity, like
|
|
the programs on the Binary CDs. This means that the source code of the
|
|
programs on the Binary-DISKNUM CD can most likely be found on this CD
|
|
(there may be some variation due to size issues).

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

Using CDs with Dselect and Apt

After installing or upgrading, Debian's packaging system can use CD-ROMs,
|
|
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 `dselect' programs. If you do not already
|
|
know how to setup these, here is a brief explanation.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
#define CDROMreadme 1
|
|
#include "apt-setup.html.in"
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
Once this is done, you can install packages from the commandline using
|
|
<tt>apt-get</tt>. For example, if you want to install the packages
|
|
`commprog' and `maxgame', you can give the command
|
|
<P>
|
|
<tt>
|
|
apt-get 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>
|
|
|
|
`<tt>Dselect</tt>' is also able to use `apt' to fetch the packages. To set
|
|
up `<tt>dselect</tt>', choose [A]ccess in the main menu, and then select
|
|
`apt'. The <tt>sources.list</tt> file should be okay already, so don't let
|
|
the program make a new one. Then, after an [U]pdate, the configuration is
|
|
ready. You can just keep using [S]elect and [I]nstall to install packages.
|
|
<P>
|
|
See <tt>dselect</tt>'s online help screens for more information (use the
|
|
`<tt>?</tt>' key).

The package sections `non-free' and `non-US' contain packages that either

have a restrictive license, or can't be exported from the US (like `pgp'

or `ssh'). It may well be that this CD does not contain (all of) these
|
|
packages. You can get them from our FTP/HTTP mirror sites.
|
|
