They are described in the installation instructions. Use the one that suits you best. What I usually do is take the "netboot" mini.iso image and "burn" it to a CD-R. Then I boot from the CD. But there are other alternatives. For example, you can make a bootable USB stick, commonly called a "thumb drive", and boot from it. There are other installation methods that allow the installer to be started from a pre-existing Unix or Linux system, or from a Windows system. Years ago, you could also create a bootable floppy disk and boot from a floppy. But that installation method is no longer supported. Etch is the last release that supported "boot floppy" installation. In short, there's no substitute for reading the directions. -- .''`.
