Illustrated by the installation of Debian GNU 3.0 (i)

Debian is a set of free operating systems (OS) designed for your computer. An operating system is a collection of basic programs and tools that enable a computer to run. Http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/33836.html ">debian uses the Linux core (the most important part of the operating system), but most of the basic tools come from the GNU program, so we call it gnu/ Linux.

The Debian GNU is not only an operating system, it also contains more than 8,710 packages, which are compiled software and packaged in an easy to install format.

Debian Linux is also one of the oldest Linux distributions, and many other Linux distributions are based on Debian, such as Ubuntu.

Debian is mainly divided into three versions: stable version (Stable), beta version (testing), unstable version (unstable). The current stable version is Debian Lenny, the current beta version is Debian Squeeze, and the unstable version is always the Debian SID. So far all development codes have come from Pixar's film Toy Story.

Let's look at how to install the Debian GNU 3.0 R0

Basically, the content is based on a basic point of view to write, if you really do not understand, you can write to my email I will try to modify!! , use Partition Magic to cut out the partitions you will need (such as: Boot,/, filesystem, Var,/usr ...), including swap partitions, so that it can be carried out relatively smoothly during installation. Currently installed is a Debian GNU 3.0 r0 version, a total of seven CD-ROM, please download, recommended to http://ftp.tku.edu.tw/(Web interface of the FTP station) These pictures, is the use of VMware 3.2 version of the software to retrieve, Also a good function, coupled with a set of Formati9 to batch conversion map file, a turn not verbose!!

1. Start installation!!

Remember that there are advanced computer BIOS settings, the computer boot to the order from the CD-ROM, if not changed, even if you put 100 discs, you can not use the CD-ROM directly installed Debian GNU

When the disc is turned on, you can immediately see the Start screen, at this time you click the F1 key, you can see some simple installation instructions, then you can press Enter directly to the next step (hey, you are not all this?)

Yes, because this version of the Debian GNU built two sets of core 2.2.20 version and 2.4.18 version, if you press ENTER, will use the 2.2.20 version, if you want to use the 2.4.18 version, on the boot: after the input bf24 can use the 2.4.18 core version

2. System Detection

Next, a series of system detection, the installer will start to check your computer what kind of hardware, good, this skip!

3. master the overall situation!!

Well, from now on, you have all the power to decide how you want to configure your Debian GNU (we are now talking about 3.0 R0), Best of all, you can install it in Chinese (well, I didn't say all of it.) Choose the language interface you want to install right now!!

4. Choose a language category or something ...

Well, I don't really know what it's for, I just press Enter (it's a bad habit)
