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 check-support-status
