said Felix Miata via tde-users: | Start regular NET installer using these options: | | tasks=standard base-installer/install-recommends=false Thanks, though it doesn't resolve the problem I particularly have in mind, which is this: A lot of people are being told by the criminals at Microsoft that their computers are unfit for their latest spyware. I would like to recommend Debian/TDE to those persons, but there's no easy way to get there, and anyone bright enough to do it the hard way gave up Windows decades ago. But it might be of help in solving another problem (though better suggestions are welcome): I have a tiny GPD Pocket machine with plenty of horsepower, but it can't boot from USB, though it otherwise reads USB sticks just fine. It is tragically running Microsoft-wannabe Ubuntu, and I want to replace it with Debian. My thought is to remove the /home partition from fstab and make a little /home with the /etc/skel files in the main partition, then with gparted make a small partitionm onto which I can dd the stuff from an install USB. Then add that to grub so I can boot from it, install Debian on the rest of the drive, and be donewith Ubuntu forever. I'm convinced, as I should have been 20 years ago, that no distribution except Debian can be trusted. (I know, some say not even Debian.) -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/ ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
