Hello,
I installed Debian 7 using a USB flash drive "burned" from the first DVD ISO of
the Debian
installation CD/DVD.
I did a very minimal install without Debian desktop environment, Print server
and Standard system
utilities.
After installation and a reboot, I was presented with a console with the words
Debian GNU/Linux 7
hostname tty1. I supplied both the login username and password.
After I typed the command sudo apt-get install xorg, an error message popped up
stating:
Media changed: please insert the disk labeled 'Debian GNU/Linux 7.4.0 _Wheezy_
- Official amd64 DVD
Binary-1 20140208-13:47' in the drive and press Enter
I inserted the same USB flash drive into the same slot and after waiting for a
few seconds, I pressed
Enter.
The same error message popped up.
I have tried the following steps on the advice of some of my colleagues:
1. remove/delete all the entries in /etc/apt/sources.list and reboot the
computer
2. dmesg shows that the USB thumb drive is mounted on /dev/sdb1
3. sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb0
4. sudo apt-cdrom -m -d /media/usb0 add
After doing the above, the following error message appears:
[quote]
Using CD-ROM mount point /media/cdrom/
Identifying.......{a long string of alphanumeric characters}
Scanning disc for index files...............
Found 0 package indexes, 0 source indexes, 0 translation indexes and 0
signatures
W: Failed to mount '/dev/sr0' to '/media/cdrom/'
E: Unable to locate any package files, perhaps this is not a Debian disc or the
wrong architecture
[end quote]
I prefer to install Xorg (60MB) and gnome-core (400MB) from the DVD disc. The
NGO that I am working
with is in a developing country with a very basic internet access
infrastructure. Internet access is
very patchy and the average download speed is less than 2 Mbps.
A solution will be much appreciated.
Regards.
Theodore
