Hello guys, sorry if this is documented somewhere but today I decided to ask here as it is something fundamental I cannot understand. After 20 years I decided to try Debian again (as VM for start). I am installing it from debian-10.3.0- amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso. As it is in remote location with problematic Internet access I wanted to do offline install. After several attempts I figured out that it is not possible to install SSH server from "Install" menu (text mode) if I will do it as offline install without allowing to use mirror. Which makes no sense. If I have Internet access then I can do easy apt-get update && apt install openssh-server so no need to install it from install menu. But when I have no Internet then I will end with machine without any remote access and no easy way to fix that. I have checked the ISO image and SSH server should be on it (/pool/main/o/openssh/openssh-server_7.9p1-10+deb 10u2_amd64.deb) so that's also not reason why it is not offered to install it without allowing mirror.
Software selection screens: Offline (not selecting the mirror): https://paste.pics/207074a621d7329f025a 519e8d835363 Online: https://paste.pics/a5401240d365799e2b7768e009c8dec8 So can anybody enlighten me why it is set like this and if it is possible to do anything with it (fill a bug? against which package?), please? Kind regards, -- Ivan
