Message-ID<vv4gO-7NP-13@gated-at.bofh.it>
Is "Debian stretch -- Installation Guide" available as a single 
downloadable HTML file?

I find <https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/> unwieldy in my 
personal situation.

TIA

Does PDF qualify? If yes:

  https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/install.pdf.en

Thank you.

It's better, but with an HTML document I can simply coerce the document 
to display with a comfortably readable font and I find the existence of 
functional internal links extremely useful for how I read that type of 
document.

IIRC some Debian documents are available in multiple formats <similar to 
[https://www.gnu.org/software/cpio/manual/index.html]>

Are there any PDF readers allow coercing use of a font face and minimum 
font size. With and SeaMonkey everything is silently handled in the 
background.

This pdf file has internal links usable by okular

All the best

Thank you, that solves the link problem.
However HTML is intrinsically better for me than PDF. Felix's suggestion 
of "apt install installation-guide-i386" provides suitable HTML documents.

How about

	apt install installation-guide-i386

??? It's not a single file, but it is local once installed, and its directory or
.deb content can be copied elsewhere if desired.

It may have solved the problem by going in one direction while I was 
focused on another direction. It also has some other files which may 
answer some other question. Will go into reading mode ;}

Thank you.
