1. Select the system profile you want installed

    • e.g. desktop/email

  2. Download and prepare a Debian network installer for your hardware

    • e.g. AMD64 → netinst → mini.iso

  3. Install Debian with selected system profile:
    • Connect the computer to ethernet
    • Boot your computer with the prepared installer

      • e.g. put in USB stick, turn power on, hold down F12, and select USB HDD

    • At the Debian installer menu, select Advanced options → Automated install

    • When asked for "preseeding", type in your selected system profile like this:

      • https://parl.debian.net/desktop/email/preseed.cfg

  4. Subscribe to the user mailinglist to get help (and perhaps help out yourself).

    • Consider subscribing twice - with both your institutional and some independent address.

  5. You are done! Welcome to Debian and DebianParl :-)
