Sorry if i appear a bit thick but it is not clear on the website which to use. If i do a business card image 46mb i will be doing an awful lot of downloading. Debian then seem to have a load of iso-hybrid - i presume for usb stick installs. What about the xfce + lxde iso listed below - i thought that was what i'd wnat ideally?
Further down the list there is debian-6.0.6-i386-xfce+lxde-CD-1.iso
For you I'd recommend getting the xfce+lxde iso and install using that. It gives you a menu to chose XFCE or LXDE install and at the end you have an XFCE or LXDE system. There are other ways to do it but probably best left until you've been around Debian a bit more.
Also verify the images: http://www.debian.org/CD/verify Your friends are: gpg --verify sha512sum
Mike.
That's the iso i used and seemed to be ok installed. But i can't exit root; from either using the root terminal or synaptic... apart from reboot.
gpg seems complicated to me! I just do sha or md5sum /dev/scd0 and then copy the output to editor where i've pasted the correct output. I thought that was the way everyone did it.
