Here we will show step by step installation of Debian Etch system for MOR.

It will contain only necessary packages.

Installation CD image can be downloaded from: http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/

As and example for i386 platform we use: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/4.0_r3/i386/iso-cd/debian-40r3-i386-businesscard.iso

If your hardware is very new - possible that Etch will not understand some components - SCSI HDD, network card or similar.

Then download Debian Lenny(testing) from: http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/, example: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/lenny_di_beta1/i386/iso-cd/debian-testing-i386-businesscard.iso

It is very small - about 32 Mb. Download it, burn to CD and start installation from it.
