getting started with debian

[Ned]

Now when I started my Linux class, my question how did you install debian 
w/o speech support?
I have to do the very same thing; install it from a CD onto a blank hd. What 
do I need to hav (besides the debian image itself) good people in order to 
do the instalation?
Or I'd better drop the class while it's not too late...

Many thanks in advance!
Ned
