+
+<p>A <q>live install</q> image contains a Debian system that can boot without
+modifying any files on the hard drive and also contains the Debian Installer
+enhanced by a module that can install the contents of the image.
+</p>
+
+<p><strong>Is a live image suitable for me?</strong> Here are some things
+to consider that will help you decide.
+<ul>
+<li><b>Launcher:</b> In addition to text and GUI install options in the
+boot menu, the desktop flavors contain a launcher on the desktop that can be
+used to install while running the live image.
+<li><b>Flavors:</b> The live images come in "flavors", four providing the
+desktop environments GNOME, KDE, LXDE and XFCE, and two text console flavors:
+rescue and standard. Many users will find these initial package selections
+suitable, installing any additional packages they need from the network
+afterwards.
+<li><b>Architecture:</b> Only images for the two most popular architectures,
+i386 and amd64, are currently provided.
+<li><b>Size:</b> Each image is much smaller than the full set of CD/DVD images,
+but larger than the network install media. If you are installing from optical
+media, the standard and rescue images will fit on a CD, whereas the others
+require a DVD. If you are installing from a USB key, only LXDE, XFCE, standard
+and rescue will fit on a 1G device, whereas the others require a larger key.
+<li><b>Languages:</b> The images do not contain a complete set of language
+support packages. If you need input methods, fonts and supplemental language
+packages for your language, you'll need to install these afterwards.
+</ul>
+
+<p>The following live install images are available for download:</p>
+
+<ul>
+
+ <li>Official <q>live install</q> images for the <q>stable</q> release &mdash; <a
+ href="#live-install-stable">see below</a></li>
+
+</ul>
+
+
+<h2 id="live-install-stable">Official live install images for the <q>stable</q> release</h2>
+
+<p>Offered in different flavours, each differing in size (see discussion above), these
+images are suitable for trying a Debian system comprised of a selected default set of
+packages and then install it from the same media.</p>
