Add etch stuff. Mostly copied unchanged from sarge, with light edits. Only enable the rescue isolinux targets for etch. I hope at least some of the etch stuff (like tools/boot/etch) can be used for the daily CD builds that build using d-i daily builds.

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 &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>,
Motorola's 680x0 (<i>m68k</i>),
Sun's <i>Sparc</i>,
Motorola/IBM's <i>PowerPC</i>, and <i>(Strong)ARM</i> processors.

About This CD

<br>
=============

</H2>
</a>
<p>
This CD-ROM is labeled
<P>
<tt>&nbsp;
DISKNAME
</tt>
<P>
#ifndef UNOFFEXTRAS
which means that this CD is number DISKNUM of TOTALNUM CDs containing
#if TYPEbinary
programs ("binaries") for `ARCH' computers.
<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
Binary-TOTALNUM, contain mostly special-interest programs.
#endif
#if TYPEsource
the source code of programs in the Debian OS.
<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
(though 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>alongside</i> your current OS, or as the <i>only</i> OS on your computer.

An <b>Installation Guide</b> for this CD is available from

For the impatient ones:

you can start the installation program easily by booting off this CD-ROM.
Note that not all (esp. older) systems support this.

You can also

you can

from there.

<br>
=============

</a>
<p>
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 `aptitude' programs.
<P>
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>&nbsp;
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>
Or use aptitude for a full screen interactive selection of available
Debian packages.
