What is the difference between the two debian installs then? One is quite large. Debian-3.0r0.ext3.1gb.bz2 Debian-20040605.ext3.1610mb.bz2 Thanks -----Original Message----- From: ti...@fu...

Usually you start by updating the package system (in debian, apt-get update and then apt-get dist-upgrade) and then installing some packages that you are interested in (xterm, mozilla-firefox, gcc, ...). Notice that (at least the images I've tried) are unstable/testing, meaning some packages might be broken at times. If you are new to linux, or have not used spesific distribution for a while, it is really good idea to read their documentation, eg., www.debian.org. -- timo |
