    Afterward you will require copying it into /home/usr1/MyDocs/ or into /media1/mmc2/ depending on whether you desire it installed on the interior storage or on a detachable storage. Then, when you perform on "Debian Image Installer" it will notice that you previously have the file and continue to extract it and place it up for you. For finding of your previously positioned debian. File confirmed above, the Debian Image Installer still require to join to the internet for file examination reason. If you have a quicker computer with application unpack compacted files, you may also leave out the Debian picture Installer by copying the uncompressed file by USB to the /home/usr1/MyDocs/ folder.
