Re: Skipping disk erase on Debian text-based installation (fwd)
Hi, I had to reinstall debian and like to encrypt my installations. Regardless of what installation image I use I find that no choice exists to not do the complete wiping of the disk before the LVM manager is setup. I get that it will be possible to press control and c to stop the process but having an option like a choice in the last step asking if you wish to do this complete wipe would be better. If the system was already encrypted and all you were doing was doing a reinstallation then going threw that process again to me is pointless. Is this something that could possibly be looked at for a future release?

wpa_supplicant in console installation
I have installed a console only Debian 11 32 bit to an older netbook with the netinstall iso. wpa_supplicant was not installed on the console only installation. I am unable to connect to the internet without wpa_supplicant. How do I obtain the wpa_supplicant package I need so I can install it manually? With another computer I have spent the last hour looking at www.packages.debian.org but am quite confused trying to find it. I also spent a couple of hours on google without finding what I need. Any help would be appreciated.

I usually choose the default when doing the installation and I'm pretty sure that there was no such question asked since I would have become suspicious about a missing swap partition.
