windows to linux, no dvd/ cd, install from hard drive
i have been using windows for many years and only used linux from the command line, but want to shift after realizing windows is sloowww, open ofc is what i use now a days and experiencing mac osx and a linux desktop ... i started reading http://mightydreams.blogspot.in/2007/09/i-am-describing-here-method-to-install.html / http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html
is there a better set of instructions?
i have got "debian-7.0.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso" and disks 2 & 3
renamed 1 to d1.iso step 2 says to copy vmlinuz and initrd.gz to c drive
But i found these files in 3 places [ did a 7z.exe l -path-to-iso- >files.list ] :-
install.amd\gtk\vmlinuz install.amd\vmlinuz install.amd\xen\vmlinuz
and similarly install.amd\initrd.gz install.amd\xen\initrd.gz install.amd\gtk\initrd.gz
Which one to use?
