In saying that, of course, it all depends on what software you want to run. If you can be a bit more specific about what software you want to run then I think there is a list somewhere of the packages which are on each CD/DVD.

I also read the whole documentation regarding installing debian for my architecture, and it really helped. It took me two hours though!

Can we clear on this so that people do not lose confidence in using an isohybrid image? 1. You ensured the USB device was unmounted. I did this mistake and this time I ensured that the usb was UNMOUNTED 2. You did either cp debian-7.1.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso /dev/sdc or cat debian-7.1.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso /dev/sdc The second one, but yes both works! (Both commands are equally as good). 3. Booting the stick now succeeded. It sure did!! :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org mailto:debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
