Comments/Problems:
Although I "burned" the Debian Jessie beta 2 DVD-1 to a USB flash drive, during
the installation process, I chose to do a base/net install only as I wanted to
install only the packages that I needed. I did not wish to have the full Gnome,
KDE, LXDE desktop environments.
Upon reboot, I was presented with a black-background console, tty1, and typed
in my login username and password. I proceeded to "sudo apt-get install xorg
gnome-core" and failed, the reason being the CDROM was missing. Well, I
re-inserted the USB flash drive and re-typed the same command. Again the
machine responded with the CDROM was missing.
I have been told that the above problem has existed since the days of
pre-Debian Wheezy.
