@hans, I'm glad you found the process smooth. If you found missing dependencies for Gmoccapy, the correct approach would be to log an issue and list the missing dependencies that should be added to the package. That's your fault as a gmocappy maintainer if it remains a gotcha.
Yes it is annoying that Debian hides the bookworm ISOs. The other place to get them is from the weekly builds but since the alpha version has been built, it's easier to find now. In any case, Bookworm changes continually so net install is likely the best option. eg. It has had Kernels 1.15,5,17,5,19 and 6.0 since I've used it. Once bookworm is released, the internet challenged could just order a DVD if they wished. Ever since I first started to install linuxcnc, it has always been recommended to me to do it with a wired internet connection. There is inevitably something required that is not on the ISO. I would never consider an installation without internet. @Andy, For users with modern hardware, there are many more gotchas due to lack of driver support in our current buster ISO. This is what has driven me and many others to Debian in the first place. I am still waiting to review a working bootable Debian ISO from you and Steffen. As of last attempt it was still missing a kernel. Of all the gotchas here, the only real issue is the one in our control and that dependencies. @hans if you look at the problem just reported on the forum you linked to, note that the user is running bullseye (confirmed by the 5.10 kernel version). This I expect means he compiled from source. It needs resolution by the Gmocappy team to resolve his problem (likely missing dependencies like you experienced). I am sure if our deb build system knew of your additional dependencies, the issue would never have been experienced.
