ABSDoug has migrated from the Ubuntu groups to Debian. If he follows the same course on here then expect endless questions and very little attempt to help himself. Most Linux users make some attempt to search for information about any problems they experience. Others just throw out a stream of questions without any noticeable attempt to find information first. Expecting everyone to sort out something you can't be bothered to do for yourself is not the Linux way. -- R.

If you can't reliably get a connection during install you should use the first DVD, it should contain most of what you need.

Help for Ubuntu user trying Debian
I'm real weak on the terminal. When I was doing the GUI install, I could not get a wireless connection(router is physically located in a part of the house I DON'T rent). So now I boot up & get the terminal. Trying to install Gnome got me no where. What do I do next? TIA! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
