  == From the Internet ==
- For most people interested about getting a copy of DebianEdu / Skolelinux, the fastest way will be to download it from the Internet and write it to a USB stick, or burn it to a CD or DVD. Images are large so if you have a slow connection, consider using a download manager. They typically enable you to pause and recommence the download at convenient times, and to resume an interrupted download.

  === Step 1: Choose an ISO ===
  First of all, you need to know under which formats the ISOs are distributed. There are different options that vary in size and have a few differences between them, so let's clear any doubt before you start downloading anything.

  ==== What is a net install CD? ====
  It fits a regular CD, so this ISO is the one that will download faster. On install, it will fetch some packages from the CD and the rest from the Internet, so when installing you will need a network connection.

- It takes more than 5 GB, so it will fit only on larger USB memory sticks or double layer DVDs. This ISO will take longer to download as it is a full offline installation medium that can be used without requiring an Internet connection.<<BR>>

  /!\ If you plan to administer a Debian Edu network it is strongly encouraged that you keep such a copy near you. Repositories are reliable and will almost never fail but even so, if you are responsible about keeping a system up and running this can be a real life saver when worst situations arise.

  ===== Using Linux command line =====
- Find the URL of the ISO you wish to burn, then ''wget http:///somewhere.com/blah.iso'' which will download it to the current working directory.  When that finishes, with a blank DVD or Blueray disk in the drive do ''growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/sr0=blah.iso'' which will burn the ISO onto the blank disk.  Alternatively, for a usbkey, simply ''cp blah.iso /dev/sdX'' where "X" is where the system detects the usbkey's location when it's plugged in.  You may need root privileges ("su -" or sudo) to do this.  Do be careful here not to blow away your Debian root disk.
