I'm trying to install Debian 9.4 on my laptop WITHOUT a "desktop environment" but giving the default answers to all the other questions.
I figured out how to deal with the lack of ifconfig after the installation, but trying to find and connect to a wifi network still produces errors including the phrase "Operation not possible due to RF-kill." Various web pages I have read based on this clue seem to imply that /usr/sbin/rfkill is a normal tool to have installed on a laptop, but it's not delivered by the netinst process and I don't think it's on CD-1 or DVD-1 either. Should task-laptop depend on rfkill? > On Tue, 2018-05-15 at 19:41 -0700, [email protected] wrote: >> Is this a place to talk about the dependences of the task-laptop >> package? > > Yes, it is. > > Ben. > > -- > Ben Hutchings
