Debian Network Install

I am proven WRONG om many issues.

That Network Install image is inferior to GNOME Image or DVD1.

Web guys are giving Dead Ropes to gullible newbies.

I am referring to the under 1GB image.

Kernel in use is 7-0.10- 14+Debian

Installation is no different to GNOME Live of DVD1

It has 1380 odd files whereas the DBD1 has 3380 odd files.

 

I choose GNOME and Web Server and SHH Server but without a Server I cannot use them on my desktop.

Currently installing to the last partition of the Laptop.

 

If problems arise I would ERASE it totally

Unlike CachyOS OS no window managers or Hypland.

I am Revisting ELive INSTALLATION on the old ACER Laptop

I installed this using a SD card mounted on USB Mount. I do not want to use 32 or 64 USB sticks. There are no 4 or 8GB sticks in Australia. I left all my USB sticks except 10 I shoved into my handbag.

Elive deliberately got the GRUB Boot Loader Wrong when installing but I know the workaround. These facts would be recorded in my book with grammar and Typo correction.

Cut and Paste is dangerous.

I know these guys for a long time from 32 bit time. During Installation they give DEAD ROPES that include Erasing the hatd disk with 0 and 1. 

I say no to all their dead ropes and do what I want to do. 

I gave my Google Email knowing very well, I had signed up with my original or the first Yahoo Mail long before Gmail.

I love its colouful Terminal.

It is SLOW compared ARCH and AV Linux Moksha Desktop but I prefer the easy pace in my old age with visual handicap especially colour blindness.

While it is testing my patience and visual handicap but my hearing is Excellent and I love music and use this distribution to listen to music. When I installed it in my NUC an year ago I listened to their old music with poor quality video (they did not have proper drivers for thr Integrated Graphic Card.

I was into Linux long before this distribution came into existence.

Nevertheless, these guys have done a Wonderful and Beautiful job.

Reaso for Install is to check with Bodhi Linux and AV Linux Moksha Desktop whicj is AntiX and MX Linux derivative.

Lat timeit took 2 and half hours and this time it is faster but I did not time it.

Thank You Elive Linux Guys and Girls and I am going to add a very favorable account in my book Linux Essentials.

By the way, Google AI is very helpful.

I  going to Network Install Debian on this Laptop soon.

My last Network Install was with TrueOS and BSD using CD in 2018 and I left all those CD and DVDs in CEYLON.

My Linux activities and Facebook activities would go on till POSON POYA or Full Moon Day. I won't go to moon even if they give me a FREE Ride.

By the way, according to Elive Clock it is more than 50 minutes and still installing.

Tried Multboot Bodhi Linux on Laptop but Failed

I tried to  multiboot Bhodhi Linux parallel with other distributions but failed. Then I tried Prism Linux ruined everything and I did not have Bootable Hard Disk.

Bodhi Linux is UBUNTU based and it has the beautiful Moksha desktop.

On first mount I prepared the Hard Disk with EFI, 20GB /root and 1GB boot and the figure of 8 still botheringme I gave SWAP partition 8888MB twicethe 4G RAM.

After initial WiFi configuration INSTALL fonished in less than 10 minutes but UPDATES as usual took a long time.

I have decided to ditch MX Linux based AV Linux Moksha.

For the 4th time it failed to boot after installation.

It violated EFI size by half.

Allocated 512 instead of 1GB required.

Boot  file was only 1MB.

Only 2 partitions

ESP

EXT4 the entire hard disk.

No SWAP a fundamental Linux Mistake.

I could not rezise the /root partition using Gparted while still remaining with the Live Session.

Nobody can I did not give enough opportunity.

Next is Installing Debian.

I have to go back to FULL install of DEBIAN Testing needing 32GB.

Debian is happy with 4GB SWAP.

DEBIAN takes 3338MB for the system.

I would  be giving up watching real UBUNTU SAGA unfolding from a sideline.

Good Bye to Bodhi Linux and UBUNTU.

I Took Big Risk With Prism Linux

With the Figure of 8 Virus constantly bothering my Old ACER Laptop doing a completly Graphical Installation with ARCH based Prism Linux was considered a prerequisite before finishing my book on "Linux Essentials".

Apart from Elevating Debian to dizzy heights, it has lot of practical stuff embedded including few of my technical mistake.

Testing Prism OS is not a mistake.

It is not good even for Tablet front.

It cannot log out.

It has no WiFi.

No WiFi means no UPDATES.

It has no software Repository.

It is a bear minimal lxQt Desktop.

That is the sunmary.

Glossy looks are deceptive as with Windows.

It was a real big risk not knowing what drivers it would use for graphics. 

I tried 8 other distributions on this laptop only two failed.

REBORN OS got the keyboard configuration wrong.

Italian Modicia won't mount the USB, most likely it is a DVD image.

Commodore Linux 3.1 has lot of music but is the Ugliest MATE Desktop.

 

Except Prism Linux all distributions including REBORN OS are installed in my NUC while the Laptop was in the attics all these time, metaphorically speaking due to no USB Booting and Figure of 8 virus compounding even typing an email address.

4 attempts at manual installation failed.

An earlier attempt RUINED the GRUB and the Hard Disk. 

This time, too.

I have never given automatic INSTALL command all my life.

I gave automatic INSTALL instruction, just for fun a few minutes ago.

It says 95% OK and stuck there in and ENDLESS Loop.

It finished the installation and the KDE cannot configure the WiFi.

I am going to try GNOME before giving up

If I cannot get WiFi link and automatic updates, I going to give up using it.

I was about to say this was good for costomers feeling the Microsoft Nose Punch.

Wait few minutes, will You.

I do not recommend it.

By the way, I cannot access the Terminal.

Not with some keyboard tricks but with some mouse clicks, I got to the Terminal.

7-0-11-lxqt kernel in progress.

It is 752MB download size.

Instal sixe 2256MB.

I can read the Terminal entry but I not cannot type any commands including EXIT.

There is a big difference between Debian and ARCH including CachyOS. 

I made about 10 mistakes due to poor eyesight and not reading instructions. Debian alerted me every time I made a mistake and let me go back and correct.

CachyOS did not say I have configured the EFI Boot loader with EXT4 file system.

So CachyOS did not boot.

I get a message in DOS style to say go and make a Boot Manger not Boot Loader.

I do not know how many cups of tea I drank but I am sleepy. Debian would install while I am in Dream Mode.
