Re: pure debian testing or a distro based on debian testing

I make my system dual boot so I have a backup. Here is the way I install the debian, please correct me if I am wrong. I install the core system, then I install gdm3 and gnome-terminal to get the GUI. After getting the GUI I install the packages as I need it. So I plan to do the same with testing. First I will install core system + gdm3 of stable debian, after getting the gui, I will change the repositories in /etc/apt/sourcelist and make dist upgrade. I hope this will work. Please comment if any thing is wrong. Two points: - Wouldn't it be better to change the source.list to debian testing straight after installation? That way you will not need to download Gnome packages from stable, saving bandwidth and time. - If you want Gnome, it is probably better to use tasksel[1], so that all the Gnome-related goodies are installed and configured. Installing just login manager and terminal application will only bring in minimal necessary dependencies, giving you a rather poor GUI experience - you might as well stay in text console. 1. http://wiki.debian.org/Gnome#task Regards, -- Andrej -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I managed to install Squeeze (6.0, few days after it got released) on raid1 and LVM2, with encryption (except for /boot), but I remember that I spent a lot of time getting it right in the installer interface (and cursing a lot about how can an installer in 2011 be so obtuse :) ). I think I may even have restarted the installation once or twice, because I configured something in the disk setup incorrectly, and the interface did not allow me to revert the change.
