4. Boot the newly installed base system
5. Install the rest of the system
Booting the Debian installation system, the first step, is generally done
with the Rescue Floppy or from the CD-ROM.

Once you've booted into Linux, the dbootstrap program will launch and
guide you through the second step, the initial system configuration. This
step is described in detail in section 3 on page [*].

The ``Debian base system'' is a core set of packages that are required to
run Debian in a minimal, stand-alone fashion. dbootstrap will install it
from your CD-ROM, as described in section 3.12 on page [*]. Once you have
configured and installed the base system, your machine can ``stand on its
own.''

The final step is the installation of the remainder of the Debian system.
This would include the applications and documents that you actually use on
your computer, such as the X Window system, editors, shells, and
development environments. The rest of the Debian system can be installed
from CD-ROM. At this point, you'll be using the standard Debian package
management tools, such as dselect. This step is described in section 3.20
on page [*].

Choosing Your Installation Media

First, choose the boot media for the installation system. Next, choose the
method you will use to install the base system.

To boot the installation system, you have the following choices: bootable
CD-ROM, floppies, or a non-Linux boot loader.
