Release Notes for Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 (`potato'), Intel x86
Chapter 2 New installations

If you are making a new installation of Debian, you should read the installation manual, which is available on the Official CD at:

     /dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/install.txt (or .html)

Or on the Internet at:

http://www.debian.org/releases/2.2/i386/install

The Debian installation system, which is called the boot-floppies (even though it is for more than just floppies), has been further streamlined and upgraded for users' convenience.
