[tde-users] Re: The 26th debian 11-3 install is about to take place

gene heskett composed on 2022-06-07 14:40 (UTC-0400): Curt covered sources.list & URIs, so I don't need to repeat them. This is how I start on UEFI PCs, whether for Debian, or any of its many derivatives: menuentry "Install Debian via HTTP" { search --no-floppy --label --set=root partlabel3 linuxefi /deb11/linux vga=791 --- net.ifnames=0 ipv6.disable=1 biosdevname=0 netcfg/get_hostname=myhost netcfg/get_domain=my.domain netcfg/disable_autoconfig=true netcfg/get_ipaddress=192.168.nnn.xxy/24 netcfg/get_gateway=192.168.nnn.xxx netcfg/get_nameservers=1.1.1.1 netcfg/confirm_static=true tasks=standard base-installer/install-recommends=false initrdefi /deb11/initrd.gz } It's trivially different on MBR/Legacy PCs. What's important is not that I'm NET installing by loading initrd and kernel with Grub, but the netcfg/confirm_static=true tasks=standard base-installer/install-recommends=false parameters, which produce a basic installation that boots post-installation with working network, and from which TDE is easily installed using the apt/apt-get/aptitude technology of your choice. Those parameters can be added to Debian installations via burned .isos of all types by typing them in after striking the E key when the first post-BIOS menu appears. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
