Your question is unclear, but the answer is "probably". If you're asking whether a CDROM is necessary to install Debian, the answer is "no", and detailed in depth at the http://www.debian.org/ site under installation instructions. If you use a bootable GNU/Linux system (e.g.: Tom's Root/Boot (untested), LNX-BBC, or Knoppix), then debootstrap should be able to build your system for you. Several people, self included, have documented chroot install methods: http://kmself.home.netcom.com/GNU/Linux/FAQs/DebianChrootInstall.html Peace. -- Karsten M.
