Thanks Ben for replying. I know the architecture of my machine which is 64-bit(amd) But check this link - https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/bt-dvd/ I am following this. Here when you scroll down, you will find 3 iso files. I have downloaded the first one.
My question is do i have to download the other two also & what's the use of other two? Thanks!
