Re: how to format
Makes sense, ntfs package needs to be installed on debian system before that can happen. Jude "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Re: how to format
parted has helped me format drives in the past too. It should work on debian too. In archlinux I did: lsblk Then checked id of new drive on system. If it's sdb parted -a optimal /dev/sdb Then I did: unit mib Then I did: print That shows what if anything is already on the disk. If the type of disk is good, msdos or gpt you don't need to use the mklabel command. If not what you want mklabel msdos or mklabel gpt. Then mkpart command and set the type of partition. mkpart help if memory serves should show you the required parameters.

Re: how to format
Yeah, when I couldn't get it to work, I searched it on-line, and it gave examples, and no extensions work, they are all like typing mkfs alone. >From what I have read, I should be able to do: sudo mkfs.ntfs /dev/sdc1 And I tried another sort I read on-line: sudo mkfs -t ntfs /dev/sdc1 But nothing worked. So I used fdisk to remove the partition, then I made a new one, it didn't offer a FS type, so I plugged it into windows to format it NTFS. I wish I could have done it in Linux. I just bought a new 64 GB thumb drive, and I didn't want a new drive to have some malware on it, so I like to wipe the partition and reformat it, in case they get infected during manufacturing.

Re: how to format
mkfs isn't a command. mkfs is a prefix. If yu want to put an ext4 partition on a drive you use mkfs.ext4. You might check for that command and check for the other mkfs commands as well.

Re: how to format
I should add that sudo mkfs is a bad command, with the needed parameters. So if mkfs is not in my Debian, how might I install it?

just use the netinstall iso files, they give you a minimal mate desktop with gimp and libreoffice but everything else you are free to use and customise in turms of what else you want, plus, orca comes as standard, if your pc requires non free firmware, go grab one of those images On Sat, Oct 29, 2022 at 7:03 PM Egon wrote: > Hi All, > > How can I install Debian without "auto start of Orca" problem? > I installed Debian with "Speech support" option from the actual Debian > standard first DVD many years ago. > I installed the Mate desktop environment. > Orca did not start automatically but the console-based speaking software > did. > > How can I install the system to avoid these problems? > Can I install the system from "debian-live-11.3.0-amd64-mate.iso" or > better if I install it from "debian-11.5.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso" image? > > Best regards: Egon > >
Debian and Orca installation Question
Hi All, How can I install Debian without "auto start of Orca" problem? I installed Debian with "Speech support" option from the actual Debian standard first DVD many years ago. I installed the Mate desktop environment. Orca did not start automatically but the console-based speaking software did. How can I install the system to avoid these problems? Can I install the system from "debian-live-11.3.0-amd64-mate.iso" or better if I install it from "debian-11.5.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso" image? Best regards: Egon
