GNOME is installed by default. Appendix C explains how to overcome this disadvantage and install the desktop of your choice. At the next screen, the winloader will ask if you want to install Debian or repair an existing system.
The fact that you're reading this indicates that you want to "Install Debian. You've already done that, right? When the computer restarts, you'll be asked to select an operating system either MS Windows or the Debian Installer. Select "Debian Installer" to begin the installation process. The Installation Process After following the steps outlined above, the Debian Installer will load and the installation process will begin. At this point, your computer may appear to hang for a minute or two at a black screen.
Don't panic. This is normal. Soon the installation process will begin and you'll be asked to select the keyboard that you use e. The installer will then automatically detect your hardware and your network. After completing those tasks, the installer will ask you for the hostname of your computer and your domain name. If you're installing Debian on a home computer, you can make something up.
Partitioning After asking which time zone you live in, the installer will detect your hard disks and start the partitioner. This is the most important part of the installation, so be careful. The installer will present you with a set of guided partitioning options that use the entire hard disk and the "Manual" partitioning option. It's important to use the "Manual" option because the guided partitioning options will use the entire hard disk and wipe out your MS Windows installation.
You'll then see a partition table like the one below: V IDE1 master hda - In their view, new users should create a separate partition for their "home" directory. Your home directory is the location where you will store all of your work and where your personal configuration files e. So if you create a separate home partition, your work and your system files will be on separate partitions.
On the other hand, some new users go too far. They do foolish things and need to reinstall the operating system. If they were foresighted enough to create a separate partition for their home directory, reinstallation is relatively painless. They simply install the operating system around the partition that contains their home directory leaving the files in place.
After the reinstallation, all of their work is in place and their configuration is restored. If you choose "No," you'll be returned to the partition table screen. If you choose "Yes," the changes will be written to disk and installation of the base system will begin. If you don't like the partition sizes that the installer selected, turn to Appendix A for an explanation of how to manually choose the partition sizes.
After writing the new partition table to disk, the Debian Installer will install the base system. Setting Up User Accounts The next four screens will help you set up a "root" account and a "user" account. The root account is used to perform administrative tasks, such as installing software, while the user account is used for everyday tasks, such as writing letters, etc.
Normal users may not install software because they do not have permission to make changes to the directories i. This prevents malicious software that you may encounter while browsing the internet from installing itself and damaging your system.
So at these four screens, pick a good password for your root account, then enter your name for your user account, pick a username for your user account and pick a password for your user account.
Beyond the Base System The installer will then configure the package manager and ask if you want to use a network mirror to supplement the software that is on the installation CD.

Reason 02 The second reason is generally more important in a business setting, but it really depends on your use of the machine.
Drawback The only real drawback to using more partitions is that it is often difficult to know in advance what your needs will be. You can download DVD images using torrent debian If you want to install Debian Minimal server, you can un-tick the Debian desktop environment.

This works using the command cfdisk Thereby you have to select the unpartitioned area, partition size and type of partition. You will see the partition with a label such as: sda3. Afterwards you must confirm with this with write. You will then have to restart as the next step. Debian will partition the hard drive for you. Manual partitioning in the Debian installer is confusing.
Each step has a different screen and you need to navigate between them. Whereas in many other installers you are presented with all the options at one screen. I show a little complicated partition table in this tutorial. It is an EFI system with Windows There is also a Linux partition with ext4 file system. It is suitable for dual-booting Linux and Windows.
The partitioning has not changed since then. The EFI partition is usually recognized automatically. So, I select the Linux partition to install Debian on it. To that end, I re-assign the ext4 file system to it. You will see that each of the partition settings opens in a new window. This is unusual if you are used to more user-friendly installers such as the Ubiquity installer of Ubuntu.
When you press Continue , you will return to the previous screen. I found it confusing when I was installing Debian the first time. So, you just need to get used to it. You also need to format this partition. Select the format this partition option and press enter. The setting will be changed to Format it. You need to have at least the root mounting point to install the system.
The rest can be kept at default. So, I select Done setting up the partitions and press continue. You will be returned to the main partition table screen. Where you will see the new partition table for Windows and Debian dual-boot. Check it before applying any changes. If everything is alright. Select Finish and write changed to the disk. If you do not create a swap partition and choose to use a swap file instead, you will see the warning that you have not created any swap partition:.
You can also switch a network mirror to the one which is the closest to you. This way you may gain some download speed.
