Debian "Testing" how to

Installation steps

1. Download the full DVD ISO (3.7 GB) from here
2. Download the non-free firmware (e.g. Intel WLAN drivers) from here

5. Follow the installation process

Notes

• Using the netinst ISO is discouraged as it may lack needed drivers for the hardware.
• It's possible to create a custom installer following these instructions.
• To be able to use sudo, be sure not to provide a root password during the installation. That way the root account will be disabled.

Packages to install

• build-essential
• cmake
