Installing Debian Squeeze with Long Term Support (LTS) is not recommended, but if you really want to, here is a howto.

Make sure, the conditions of LTS fit to your system (arch: i386/amd64 only, several unsupported packages, you may use backports to get recent versions). Read the LTS FAQ.

Download the install medium from http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/6.0.9 . (Update: 6.0.10 is released, but it wasn't tested with this howto.)

Start installing as usual. Help may be found under

Reboot and login as root.

Add the squeeze-lts sources to your /etc/apt/sources.list and upgrade (see also LTS/Using#Add_squeeze-lts_to_your_sources.list)

echo >>/etc/apt/sources.list
echo deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ squeeze-lts main contrib non-free >>/etc/apt/sources.list
echo deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian/ squeeze-lts main contrib non-free >>/etc/sources.list

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

Install debian-security-support. check-support-status is run as a trigger when installing packages. You can also run check-support-status manually to check if your package selection is supported. (see LTS/Using#Check_for_unsupported_packages and the man page of check-support-status(1))

apt-get install debian-security-support
