Package: debian-cd Version: 3.1.5 Severity: wishlist WPA support in the 50m / 120m images would be very helpful for installing debian on a notebook in the wild. A cli tool that that could search for available networks and prompt for an appropriate password during the install process would be great. ceni or wicd-cli would work I think. Doing an offline wpasupplicant config file by hand is quite a pain for a wpa connection. A minimal offline install image which includes wpa-cli tool like wicd-curses and a sane sources.list would be great if I could install, reboot, access a wpa network, update and then use tasksel to install the base desktop.
I suspect that this is harder than it seems or else it would have already been done, Information about why it is hard would be appreciated (search terms, forum post links , etc). -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (100, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.36-2.dmz.5-liquorix-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages debian-cd depends on: ii apt 0.8.11.5 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii bc 1.06.95-2 The GNU bc arbitrary precision cal ii cpp 4:4.4.5-2 The GNU C preprocessor (cpp) ii curl 7.21.3-1 Get a file from an HTTP, HTTPS or ii dctrl-tools [grep-dctrl 2.18 Command-line tools to process Debi ii dpkg-dev 1.15.8.10 Debian package development tools ii genisoimage 9:1.1.11-1 Creates ISO-9660 CD-ROM filesystem pn libcompress-zlib-perl <none> (no description available) ii lynx-cur 2.8.8dev.8-1 Text-mode WWW Browser with NLS sup ii make 3.81-8 An utility for Directing compilati ii perl [libdigest-md5-per 5.10.1-17 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii tofrodos 1.7.8.debian.1-2 Converts DOS <-> Unix text files, Versions of packages debian-cd recommends: ii hfsutils 3.2.6-11 Tools for reading and writing Maci ii netpbm 2:10.0-12.2+b1 Graphics conversion tools between ii syslinux-common 2:4.03+dfsg-12 collection of boot loaders (common debian-cd suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
