Re: [Trisquel-users] Netinsall, tty, apt-get update not working

These instructions only work for wired networks, which are relatively simple.  
You will need to configure wpa_supplicant because there are many different  
types of wireless networks. It's just a start before installing wicd or  
similar, because you were complaining about no connection with eth0.

On a different note, the reason you see nothing in /home/user is because you  
have no applications that will need them with a netinstall. Just install a  
graphical environment e.g. Xfce and they will probably be created, or just  
create them yourself; they are mostly arbitrary anyway such as Videos or  
Templates and not an "official" UNIX standard (unlike the directories in /),  
it's just that most desktop environments tend to use the same set of folders.
