One note, although the Debian _installer_ can handle UEFI boot, at last check the Debian _LiveCD_ is MBR only. I have no idea why. But you don't see me doing anything about it, so the volume you will hear me complaining about it is correspondingly limited :) Mark

When stretch is considered stable enough, it will get a release number (9.0), and be referred to as stable. At this point Jessie will be "oldstable" and wheezy will pass into legend. Whatever Sid looks like at that time, will get a new Toy Story character name assigned, and become the new "testing". Sid and "testing" will at that moment be identical, and will start to diverge as stuff gets into Sid, and takes a while to prove itself enough to get into "testing". HTH Mark

Re: Modified Rapture, and a new question

efore you've tried it? BTW best answer in my opinion is get networking working, then set up sources.list to point at the repos as others have suggested. If networking isn't available, sources.list set up to use the thumb drive as others have suggested is the way to go. Either way, once at up, there are commands line apt-get install to install software and keep it up to date. Mark
