What's in this directory?
These are files containing the installer and other software
for the Debian GNU/Linux operating system.
The files in this directory are specifically for
the amd64 architecture.
How do I use these files?
The files here are bittorrent files. Use
a bittorrent
client program to download the contents of the complete ISO image
files in a peer-to-peer manner. You should end up with an exact
copy of each ISO image as though you'd downloaded it directly via
HTTP or FTP.
Once you have downloaded all the ISO images you want, you will
typically need to write them to installation media.
What size and type of media will I need?
The images described here are sized to be written to
writeable CD media
at a minimum, but may be written to larger media if needed.
For extra convenience, these images may also be written
directly to a USB stick. So long as your computer will
boot directly from that USB stick, it should start the Debian
installer that way.
There are lots of files here! Do I need all of them?
In most cases it is not necessary to download and
use all of these images to be able to install
Debian on your computer. Debian comes with a massive set of
software packages, hence why it takes so many disks for a
complete set. Most typical users only need a small subset of
those software packages.
What is a netinst image?
The netinst CD here is a small CD image that
contains just the core Debian installer code and a small core set
of text-mode programs (known as "standard" in Debian). To install
a desktop or other common software, you'll also need either an
Internet connection or some other Debian CD/DVD images.
What is an edu netinst image?
The edu netinst CD here is a special version of
the netinst CD image that is targeted specifically at 64-bit
Intel machines. It provides a menu to install the Debian Edu Pure
Blend. See the
Debian Wiki for more information.
What is a mac netinst image?
The mac netinst CD here is a special version of
the netinst CD image that is targeted specifically at older
64-bit Intel Macintosh machines. It will likely work on most
other amd64 machines too, but it does not contain UEFI boot
files that some people
need. See
the Debian Wiki for more information.
How can I verify my download is correct and exactly what has
been created by Debian?
There are files here (SHA512SUMS, etc.) which contain checksums
of the images. These checksum files are also signed - see the
matching .sign files. Once you've downloaded an image, you can
check:
- that its checksum matches that expected from the checksum file; and
- that the checksum file has not been tampered with.
For more information about how to do these steps, read
the verification guide.
Only the first few images are available! Where are the rest?
We don't store/serve the full set of ISO images for all
architectures, to reduce the amount of space taken up on the
mirrors. You can
use the jigdo
tool to recreate the missing ISO images instead.
Non-free Firmware
This Debian image build only includes Free Software where
possible. However, many systems include hardware which depends on
non-free firmware to function properly so this build also includes
those firmware files for those cases. See the Debian
Wiki non-free
firmware page for more information.
Other questions?
See the Debian CD FAQ
for lots more information about Debian CDs and installation.
The images here were put together by
the Debian CD team
, using debian-cd and other software.
