Hi all, Really excited I just installed debian. This is what I did, not sure if I have made some mistakes along the way. I got the installation iso from http://people.debian.org/~shane/netinst-speakup/ and started reading the debian installation manual. I wanted to see if the iso had written so I put a new hd in the caddy and booted from the cd. I had planned to stop once I got speech and go back to the manual but just got too excited. So, Language selection was fine and when I got to the partitions, I opted for the recommended setup for beginners (perhaps this is not a good idea? Next slight problem I have is that when it came to the package install, I let it get them via ftp and selected the manually select packages. This is where you choose between mail server, desktop and various other choices. I think I may have gone wrong now as there seemed to be a lot of stuff installed and I did not get any choices although I expected them? Just wondering now about which mail client would be good for a beginner. I connect to the internet with a adsl rooter which is connected to the network card. Also, any further reading recommendations. Sorry about the ramble but I am so excited that I got it working.
