Running Debian GNU/Linux 9
1. Boot the CD that comes with this book and type debian from the boot prompt to start
the Debian installer.
Some systems may require special parameters in order to boot. Other options are also
available, such as the option to install to a particular hardware configuration. Press F4
at the boot: prompt for more information.
2. After the installer has finished booting, you are presented with the series of menus that
make up the installation process. Use the arrow keys to navigate through the menus and
select your language, region, and keyboard mapping.
3. Configure the network connection. This step is skipped automatically if no network card
is detected in your system.
If a network card is detected in your system, the installer will attempt to automatically
detect the network using the DHCP protocol. This involves the computer sending out
requests on the network for configuration details from a DHCP server. Most networks
and broadband routers support this service.
If the DHCP configuration fails, you are presented with four options:
retry??”Select this option if you suspect that there was a temporary problem that prevented
your computer from communicating with the DHCP server.
retry with hostname??”Select this option if your network provider requires you to
enter a DHCP hostname.
