Re: guide for installing debian using the command line

[Amir-Trend Plus]

Hi,
ok i am confused!
let me tell you again the story,
the laptop that will be installed with debian does not have internet
connected, because it uss wifi instead of land connection.
so, first i downloaded the debian 650 cd image, cd1. and then burn and
boot it, at the beep i press s and enter.
speech came, so i install until, the network connection problem, described here,
begin text:
4.2.8. Configuring the Network
Eager to automate the process as much as possible, the installer
attempts an automatic DHCP network configuration. If this fails, it
offers more choices: try again with a normal DHCP configuration,
attempt DHCP configuration by declaring the name of the machine, or
set up a static network configuration.
This last option requires an IP address, a subnet mask, an IP address
for a potential gateway, a machine name, and a domain name.

TIP Configuration without DHCP
If the local network is equipped with a DHCP server that you do not
wish to use because you prefer to define a static IP address for the
machine during installation, you can add the netcfg/use_dhcp=false
option when booting from the CD-ROM. You just need to go to the
desired menu entry by pressing the TAB key and add the desired option
before pressing the Enter key.

BEWARE Do not improvise
Many local area networks are based on an implicit assumption that all
machines can be trusted, and inadequate configuration of a single
computer will often perturb the whole network. As a result, do not
connect your machine to a network without first agreeing with its
administrator on the appropriate settings (for example, the IP
address, netmask, and broadcast address).
end text.
i cannot skip this, it fail because no wifi present, so should i
connect to wifi network or, skip this and setup later? If skipping,
how to do that?
or maybe since this is cd version, the packages are not  complete. I
only have 1 usb drive, and i can download  all of them, maybe, but
only one iso can be booted at a time.
sorry and thanks

Floppy?
I suppose you mean a usb stick.
Floppy drives are rare in todays computers.

No network connection found with stock debian image means you haven't got a 
floppy in the computer with a directory called firmware holding the correct 
driver for your network card. The debian firmware installer has a selection of 
firmware drivers on it not necessarily all of them so if the network adapter 
manufacturer made a linux firmware driver you may have to make your own 
firmware floppy then try the installation since graphical operation is unlikely 
to find any resources command line could not find.

Hi,  
i need to install debian to a pc that has no internet connection. last  
time i tried, it requires me to setup the connection during the  
install and since no connection was found, it failed. Can i skip that  
screen and setup my connection later, after the install complete and i  
get the graphical user interface? and, is there any guide to follow  
for installing debian using the cd1 (650 mb), since that is the only  
accessible debian installer.  

If you’re starting the installer by just pressing Enter, you can press Tab when 
you hear the beep, and type:  
priority=medium  
Then you’ll get a step-by-step menu for the various installer tasks, and you 
can just skip the network part.  
The first one is ‘Detect network devices’, the next is ‘Configure the network’. 
 
Just skip those 2 items, and proceed with the install.

Well, to change the priority it's easier to do it from the main menu by
hitting "back". On can do that at the very first question for instance.

Was it really a fatal failure, and not just a warning?
That is really not supposed to happen, and is worth a proper bug report
to actually fix the issue.

? All images are accessible, the only exception to this is the netboot
non-gtk mini.iso image, but there is very little probability that you
ended up with it.
