1. Download over 40gb of data just for one operating system? Is someone having a laugh? I’ll pass………

   1. You don’t have to download all files. Just grab first iso image and install the rest via the Internets. However, large universities or companies mirror everything locally so that students or employees can install operating system on demand. They can save lots of bandwidth.

      HTH

2. Would be kinda useful if it said “you don’t have to download all the DVD’s” clearly some place 🙂

   1. They do, Barry. Debian.org’s page to download images via http/ftp says,
      “The first CD/DVD disk contains all the files necessary to install a standard Debian system.
      To avoid needless downloads, please do not download other CD or DVD image files unless you know that you need packages on them.”

      1. Although, I wish the list of packages on each DVD iso was clear. If that is listed somewhere, please someone tell where to find it.

3. @Barry
   Also debian.org has a download link at the top right for the single netinstall CD (“network installer”) which might be more of what you are after.

4. Debian still rocks!
   My first choice for my home server.

5. If you want to download Debian Squeeze, this is the official page:

   http://www.debian.org/releases/squeeze/debian-installer/

   Debian is the one and only 🙂

6. Hi,

   If all I want is to have Gnome only type installation the is it enough to download the 1st CD image?. Thanks (love debian but they always make such complications when it comes to these details 🙁 )

7. Just one command line:

   32 bit:

   for (( i=1 ; i<53 ; i++ )) ; do wget -c http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/i386/iso-cd/debian-6.0.1a-i386-CD-$i.iso ;done

   64 bit:

   for (( i=1 ; i<53 ; i++ )) ; do wget -c http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/debian-6.0.1a-amd64-CD-$i.iso;done

8. can you send cd to home ?

10. How do i get the KDE desktop version of Debian 6??

11. I would appreciate someone making it easier for me to get and install Debian 6.
    Currently using Ubuntu 11.04 and Trisquael 4.5.1.
    I have dementia and unable to read learn and do on my own. Everything is too cryptic and unfamiliar and I need lotz of prompting. I am able to copy and paste commands in Linux. I have access to a 7megabit connection but it is on windowsXP. If you can help simplify how to get the DVDs for me on that connection it would be greatly appreciated. My funds are limited and low otherwise I’d buy but here I am beging…%:))) Mike

12. To download the first disk for debian 6 for 32bit pc, click this link

    If your pc is newer, (64bit) click this link.

    These are ISO images, burn/write the one you need to a DVD, and you’re good to go..

13. Gracias por los enlaces. Descargaré el DVD, aunque mi intención es probar de actualizar de Debian 5.0 (Lenny) a Debian 6.0 (Squeeze).

14. Both the 32 bit and the 64 bit version return 404 from the following lines.
    Debian 6 DVD ISO download

    There are total 8 DVD images:

    Visit mirror to download Debian ISO image 32 bit i386 DVD ISO (4.4 GB each)
    Visit mirror to download Debian ISO images 64 bit DVD ISO (4.4 GB each)

    You can use the following shell script to grab all 8 DVD images:

    1. Try this updated version:

       #!/bin/bash
       # getdeb6: Download Debian 6 DVD images
       # Tip: run it over screen session
       _bit="${1:-64}"
       _arch="i386"
       _version="6.0.4"
       _base="http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/${_version}/i386/iso-dvd/"
       
       [ "$_bit" == "64" ] && { _base="http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/${_version}/amd64/iso-dvd/"; _arch="amd64"; }
       echo "Downloading Debian Linux v6.0 ${_bit} bit DVD..."
       for i in {1..8}
       do
               # build image path
       	_image="${_base}/debian-${_version}-${_arch}-DVD-${i}.iso"
       	wget -c $_image
       done
       

       Run it as follows for 32 bit:

       ./getdeb 32

       To grab 64 bit dvds:

       ./getdeb 64

15. nice info .thx

16. This page is outdated and inaccurate. The links to the downloads are no longer active you get a page not found. Apparently the interne install for Debian 6 is no longer available and I don’t like 7.

17. Link Failed!!
