Apology for Statement Debian Gnome Live USB/DVD

Apology for Statement Debian Gnome Live USB/DVD

I inadvertently stated that one cannot install application using this this Gnome Image.

I may have done this without configuring the WiFi

Without the Internet one cannot have any link to the repositories.

Only downside is Calamara Installer is very slow and sometimes hangs up.

It just happened now when installing Debian Gnome.

My advice is for one to use the Debian DVD1 and use one or several desktops at install time.

Gnome Live image installer failed. Simply because it did not choose gdm for Plymouth. It assumes it being Gnome and fail to recognize I have other Debian instances.

I decided to use only XFCE and fallback Gnome and it saved about 250 files that are needed for fully fledged Gnome.

DVD1 image is the saviour and install time is saved by about few minutes. In any case 13 series installation is by nature fast.

By the way. Image which is 6.12.38 Debian + is upgraded to 6.22.42 Debian + plus during Installation.

Basic stuff is not much change.

The change is all due to Kernel has to support many architectures from Raspberry pi to Nvidia and AMD stuff.

Linux code is crisp and if I am in the developer set up I would put everything in the basic installation including hardware support for my basic NUC and it I also exclude LibreOffice, I would make Image under 1GB, like what Puppy guys user to do in the past.

By the way, TeenPup derivative Legacy OS is 3.2GB and Antix full is 2GB both of which cannot configure my WiFi.

This is a warning for guys who are going to undermine X11.

Gnome Fallback I think ix X11 on steroids.

Small is beautiful and smart.

GRUB and Networking are the most important criteria for me over years.

Once I get the system up I think of my applications.

Gparted 

AbiWord 

USB formatter 

USB image writer

Audacity 

VLC

GDebi

Transmission 

All the above is about 1000MB.

I am up and running XFCE and the mouse mascot was my yesteryear favorite long before Tux.

I am going to remove LibreOffice and add Pingus and Tux Racer in my 9.5GB partition with 3.5GB remaining.

I do not go below 1GB since I get a warning message that there is no hardware space.

Go and hang with TimeShift utility.

I am even happier with Awesome and IceWM window mangers.

I do not need Kodi and Kdenlive for my desktop.
