Probably Slackware 15.0 will have software speech support available in
some form. The reason for that is no more cpaacity to use hardware
speech synthesizers as was the case in early kernel 3.0 days. If that
happens, that will be a no internet required install as well. Slackware
has done that since its beginning and that was the first commercial
Linux distro on the market.

Hi.
Sounds great. I'll try this out.
It will be much faster to install this way instead of downloading when
installing.
When I upgraded some years ago I edited that file, hope it will work
this time too.
If so I'll be very happy. It will be almost how I installed fedora
core many years ago.
Easy and fast.

You'll be given the opportunity to pick an installation source.
Internet is one option but cd/dvd is another. When you pick cd/dvd,
you'll be prompted to insert each dvd in the dvd drive so debian can
index what you have. Once all of that is done, to install a package
you'll be prompted for one or both of those cd/dvd's if the install you
want needs files from both of them. To move over to internet for your
source, you're going to have to comment out active lines in
'/etc/apt/sources.list and add in internet repository lines to select
mirrors and distributions. Fortunately for you, a tool exists to help
you select your best internet mirrors. The security mirror is separate
from the debian main mirror and there is also a multimedia mirror that
can be installed in /etc/apt/sources.list. Once you have changed
/etc/apt/sources.list, you want to run aptitude update first then
aptitude safe-upgrade to get updates those dvd's don't have.

Ok.
I've got dvd disks, and all Three isos downloaded so I can burn them.
How do I do when I want to install a package that is not on the first
dvd, but one of the others?
Also, when I get internet access. How do I select a mirror, and use
apt-get install the normal way?

Hi.
I'm going to install debian.
When I install I don't have internet on that computer.
What do I need then?
There are dvd images. Do I need all?
