Live install images
live install
image contains a Debian system that can boot without
modifying any files on the hard drive and also allows installation of Debian
from the contents of the image.
Is a live image suitable for me?
Here are some things
to consider that will help you decide.
Flavors:
The live images come in several "flavors"
providing a choice of desktop environments (GNOME, KDE, LXDE, Xfce,
Cinnamon and MATE).
Architecture:
Currently only images for 64-bit PC (amd64) are provided.
Installer:
The live images contain
the end-user-friendly
Calamares Installer
, a
distribution-independent installer framework
Languages:
The images do not contain a complete set of language
support packages. If you need input methods, fonts and supplemental language
packages for your language, you'll need to install these afterwards.
