<p>A <q>live install</q> image contains a Debian system that can boot without
modifying any files on the hard drive and also allows installation of Debian
from the contents of the image.
</p>
<p><a name="choose_live"><strong>Is a live image suitable for me?</strong></a> Here are some things
to consider that will help you decide.
<ul>
<li><b>Flavors:</b> The live images come in several "flavors"
providing a choice of desktop environments (GNOME, KDE, LXDE, Xfce,
Cinnamon and MATE). 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 most popular architecture,
64-bit PC (amd64), are currently provided.
<li><b>Installer:</b> Starting from Debian 10 Buster, the live images contain
the end-user-friendly <a href="https://calamares.io">Calamares Installer</a>, a
distribution-independent installer framework, as alternative to our well known
<a href="$(HOME)/devel/debian-installer">Debian-Installer</a>.
<li><b>Size:</b> Each image is much smaller than the full set of
DVD images, but larger than the network install media.
<li><b>Languages:</b> The images do not contain a complete set of language
support packages. If you need input methods, fonts and supplemental language
packages for your language, you'll need to install these afterwards.
</ul>
<h2 id="live-install-stable">Official live install images for the <q>stable</q> release</h2>
<p>Offered in different flavours, each differing in size as discussed above, these
images are suitable for trying a Debian system comprised of a selected default set of
packages and then install it from the same media.</p>
<div class="line">
<div class="item col50">
<p><strong>DVD/USB (via <a
href="$(HOME)/CD/torrent-cd">BitTorrent</a>)</strong></p>
<p><q>Hybrid</q> ISO image files suitable for writing to DVD-R(W)
media, and also USB keys of the appropriate size. If you can use
BitTorrent, please do, as it reduces the load on our servers.</p>

the <a href="../faq/">FAQ</a>.</p>
<p>If you intend to install Debian from the downloaded live image,
be sure to have a look at the
<a href="$(HOME)/releases/stable/installmanual">detailed
information about the installation process</a>.</p>
<p>See the <a href="$(HOME)/devel/debian-live">Debian Live Project page</a> for
