David, I downloaded it again, but again Rufus says it got truncated and is missing some of it again. The first one didn't boot, but I will try this one because it is a bit larger. I've never had an issue like this before. Glenn ----- Original Message ----- From: D.J.J.

Let's ask this in another, perhaps more helpful way. Is there a way to easily install Debian for a command-line interface ONLY installation with networking tools like nmcli and nmtui installed and basic command-line browsers? If so, how do you do it? I believe this should be an option because many need and want this type of system with speech but no graphics interface (GUI) at all. Vinux had an iso that did exactly this, and it's still available at the Archive here: https://archive.org/download/vinux-debian-cli-distro/Vinux-CLI-max-2.1.iso I highly recommend Vinux 2.1 - everything seems to work and even to upgrade with dist-upgrade. David.
