I have folded them into a new patch attached. My turn to apologize for the delay.

Bug#381555: Patch for image digest links
tags -1 - patch Hi Imran, Thanks for your interest in improving the website, and sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

Some remark about the form: - please, do not use long lines [0]; - please, do not link on a meaningless “here”; and about the content: - SHA512 digest is also provided; - example should be updated to the most used arch (i.e. amd64). 0: http://www.debian.org/devel/website/htmlediting#general Please, do not hesitate to add to the loop when you provide an updated patch (they are very helpful, not only to proofread, but also to help provide a more accurate wording if needed).

Bug#381555: Patch for image digest links
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 Hey there Team debian-www, I have attached a patch for this (or rather the whole .wml files). As it would seem excessive to have a separate digest for every architecture (and indeed, the particular architecture involved was not mentioned) I have instead opted to include a short paragraph explaining in a general way how to get at the image digests.

Compared to other methods you end up downloading less data as the process will be tailored to your requirements. Ethernet and wireless connections are supported. Internal ISDN cards are unfortunately not supported. There are four options for installs over the network: NOTE: MD5, SHA1 and SHA256 digests can be found here under the relevant architecture/image directory. For example, digests for i386/iso-cd can be found here. Small CDs The following are image files which are up to 180 MB in size, making them suitable for writing to small CD-R(W) media, 80 mm/3.1" in diameter. Choose your processor architecture below. Smaller CDs The following are image files which are up to 40 MB in size, making them suitable for writing to business card-shaped CDs (available in differing sizes, e.g. 58×75 mm/2.3×3" in diameter): For details, please see: Network install from a minimal CD Tiny CDs, USB sticks, etc. You can download a couple of image files of small size, suitable for USB Sticks and similar devices, write them to the media, and then start the installation by booting from that. There is some diversity in the support for installing from various very small images between the architectures. For details, please refer to the installation manual for your architecture, especially the chapter Obtaining System Installation Media. Here are the links to the available image files (look at the MANIFEST file for information): Network boot You set up a TFTP and a DHCP (or BOOTP, or RARP) server which will serve the installation media to machines on your local network. If your client machine's BIOS supports it, you can then boot the Debian installation system from the network (using PXE and TFTP), and proceed with installing the rest of Debian from the network. Not all machines support booting from the network. Because of the additional work required, this method for installing Debian is not recommended for novice users. For details, please refer to the installation manual for your architecture, especially the chapter Preparing Files for TFTP Net Booting. Here are the links to the image files (look at the MANIFEST file for information): #use wml::debian::cdimage title="Network install from a minimal CD" #use wml::debian::release_info #use wml::debian::installer #include "$(ENGLISHDIR)/releases/images.data" http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current A network install or netinst CD is a single CD which enables you to install the entire operating system. This single CD contains just the minimal amount of software to start the installation and fetch the remaining packages over the Internet. What's better for me — the minimal bootable CD-ROM or the full CDs? It depends, but we think that in many cases the minimal CD image is better — above all, you only download the packages that you selected for installation on your machine, which saves both time and bandwidth. On the other hand, the full CDs are more suitable when installing on more than one machine, or on machines without a free Internet connection. What types of network connections are supported during installation? The network install assumes that you have a connection to the Internet. Various different ways are supported for this, like analogue PPP dial-up,
