After many years, I have finally gotten a working Debian install. It looks
ok, but there are a few issues.
The installation media handling of wifi-connections was not transparent,
but it worked fine. I had to NOT configure the wifi connection, after
signing in to the router. I was unable to contact a mirror; however, once
I decided to install without configuring wifi during the install, and
rebooted, I was connected automatically! Wonderful! It would be well if
the user could predict this behavior.
Now that I am connected, however, synaptic does not allow me to configure
the software components that are "Downloadable from the Internet."
Checkboxes will not accept any change.
Is there any trick one can use here?
It is awesome that this installer is working this well. Thank you.
