The Very Verbose Debian 3.0 Installation Walkthrough

Posted by timothy on from the making-possible-the-impossible dept.

Gentu writes "Cited the general displeasure which accompanied the Debian 3.0 release, mostly regarding its dated installation procedure, Clinton De Young wrote an easy-reading but long article for OSNews going through the Debian installation step by step. Of course Progeny released recently the PGI graphical installer, but it is not as complete as the current Debian text-based installer and it will definately be quite some time before it get adopted by the project."

    I agree, their own installation guide is like 12 chapters broken into numerous sub chapters each. Although, I can make it through the installer with out written help somewhat comfortably.
