Re: Pre-Install Question
look for the listing in the mirror directory hierarchy. go up one level and you'll find http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.4/i386/list-dvd/ btw, the first disc contains the installer and the most frequently used packages. Do not post to multiple mailing list. and this question is totally irrelevant to debian-project.

It's a bit hard to list contains of all DVDs. I'll second that. There are roughly about 25 *thousand* packages in Debian, so it's more practical to search them by name on the Debian site than it is to list them in extenso. Anyhow, as already said, you just need the first DVD in order to install a pretty complete Debian system, with Gnome desktop and all. If you happen to need any exotic packages (such as, say, ndiswrapper, or some wireless firmware, or the like), and do have a working Internet connection, the installer will download them for you on-the-fly. If you don't have a working Internet connection, you'll have to download such packages beforehand, from the Debian site (search 'package name'). It's advisable to provide a working Internet connection to the Debian Installer if at all possible, though. It makes things *so* much easier... -- Regards, Klistvud Certifiable Loonix User #481801 http://bufferoverflow.tiddlyspot.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Tim As others have implied, but not implicitely said, Debian comes with lots of packages, so the DVD or CD sets contain all of them. In order to do a basic install you normally just need the first CD of the set (or first DVD - just as a bit more included). If you have an internet connection, you don't even need the full CD, and that is where the Netinst or Business Card CD's come in. They get started enough to connect to the internet and the rest of the stuff needed is downloaded. Once your system is up and running (and connected to the internet) you add and remove packages on the fly from repositories on mirrors around the world. So you only need the remaining CDs or DVDs if you are not, and never will be, connected to the internet. -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
