Welcome to OldSite.debianHELP.org!

I wanna burn a Debian CD-ROM!

After a few requests, we've decided to list out some sites where you can easily download Debian *.ISO image files.  For those that don't have a clue, an *.ISO file is a huge file which is used to produce a CD-ROM disc.  What you'll need is a good amount of time to download the *.ISO files, and, of course, a CD-ROM burner.  For more info, see the official Debian CD-ROM FAQ. If you're not up to speed on installing Debian GNU/Linux, you are strongly encouraged to read the Debian new installation documentation and also to read the more general Debian documentation.

The first site we want to mention is Debian's official CD-ROM site .  This site gives several options of downloading Debian CD-ROM *.ISO images, including the new "Jigsaw Download" (jigdo) option.  It also contains instructions for creating *.ISO files from your local Debian archive mirror and for using rsync to save loads of bandwidth downloading files.

Now for the listing of sites.  These will appear in no particular order, but you should be able to find Debian CD-ROM *.ISO images on them.  If a site listed below no longer carries Debian *.ISO files, please let us know.
Listed below are a couple of sources of unofficial Debian *.ISO images. These are unique packaging ideas but are in no way official releases of Debian.
  • http://markybobdeb.sourceforge.net/elf/ - If you don't want to download one or more 600+ MB *.ISO images of Debian and you don't want to mess around with boot floppies, then the unofficial Debian "netinst" CD is for you! This CD-ROM *.ISO is only about 32 MB and gives you enough packages to boot your machine and to run "apt-get" to finish the install using a link to the Internet.
  • ftp://ftp.fsn.hu/pub/CDROM-Images/debian-unofficial/MIRRORS - A listing of mirrors carrying the "Debian Un-Official" *.ISO images.   These unofficial *.ISOs include "snapshot" images of recent "testing" and/or "unstable" versions of Debian GNU/Linux.
Know of any other good sites? If so, please let us know.

I wanna pay someone for a Debian CD-ROM!

That's cool, there's lots of people that provide such a service.  You can buy Debian CD-ROMs at places like CheapBytes.Com or see the official list of Debian CD vendors.
