I'll try to explain better (strange, it seems so clear to me). The problem only occurs with pendrive stick, not with CD-ROM. I.e.: From: http://www.us.debian.org/CD/netinst/ I download the file debian-7.8.0-i386-netinst.iso and put it onto pendrive stick, then start the installation trough the Debian Installer. Everything goes fine all the way through the installer menu until finishing the install by booting into the new system. At that point, I need installing ppp, because, once installed ppp, I'll be able to connect to internet and download the remaining packages. I do: # aptitude install ppp The system tells me to insert the debian CD-ROM, because it `doesn't know' that I have no CD-ROM at all, but instead a pendrive stick. I insert the pendrive stick with debian-7.8.0-i386-netinst.iso on it, but the system insists on wanting a CD-ROM. So I can't install ppp and so I won't be able to connect to internet. At this point, someone from the list suggested to start Debian Installer in expert mode and load the packages from there. I tried, with no success. That way, the installation of ppp is not complete, not sufficient. Hope it's clearer now. Rodolfo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
