Not sure what you mean by 'no install media' AFAIK, you have to have one of the several modes of install media to proceed. 1. netintall iso: has base system, but needs a repository for the rest of the packages. Minimal system but can stand alone. 2. businesscard iso, has only enough to boot the system and set up the network and configure apt. Needs a mirror or package repo or you can't proceed. 3. Cd's and DVD's with a full desktop environment . All the install media have 'rescue' mode included. If what yo say is true, grab one of the small iso's just for the rescue mode. ps: There is another, PXE, which I am not familiar with, I think it can be used to install without local media. -- Peace, Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
