First install was edit /etc/.apt/sources.lst to testing or maybe strech; apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade. Symptoms: lost network on re-boot. Connected monitor and keyborad. /sbin/ifconfig showed no wlan0 . ip a showed a long string wlx000272ac8d9b instead of wlan0. -ip link set wlx000272ac8d9b up; iwconfig wlx000272ac8d9b mode managed essid beegeet key 1234567890; ifconfig wlx000272ac8d9b 192.168.1.109- route add defalut gw 192.168.1.1; brought up the network, which was then reachable via ssh from a work station. This was left running for about a week. Since this proceedure seemed tedious to bring up the network, I proceeded to do a new from scratch network install. The 2nd install, a network install, produced a seemingly un-useable installation due to lack of network after reboot. This time no /sbin/ifconfig; no /sbin/route. It looked to me like I had a badly broken installation without the utilities to bring up the network. Suspecting a bad CF disk, I started a 3rd install, network install, with another CF card. Installed grub to CF card. Downloaded net boot imaged files to CF card. Edited grub to boot images. Inserted into target machine. Proceeded with a mostly normal installation. However, the detected network eth and wlan devices were listed as long strings, e.g. wlx000272ac8d9b. (maybe this is normal?)Proceeded with nework install via the wireless usb device. Installed only ssh server and unilities. No network on reboot. No /sbin/ifconfig. No /sbin/route. After consulting references on use of /sbin/ip, brought up network: ip a # observer device name long string ip link set wlx000272ac8d9b up iwconfig wlx000292ac8d9b mode managed essid beegeet2 key 1234567890 ip a add 192.168.1.108/24 dev wlx000272ac8d9b ip route add default via 192.168.1.1 Installation was now reachable from a workstation via ssh. Further investigation revealed: no /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules; no such file After apt-get install net-tools , I was able to get the network to come up automatical with the following section in /etc/network/interfaces: auto wlx000272ac8d9b allow-hotplug wlx000272ac8d9b iface wlx000272ac8d9b inet static address 192.168.1.108 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 wireless-mode managed wireless-key 1234567890 wireless-essid beegeet2 wireless-channel 11 At this point I had a network after reboot. However, this not what I would want on production system. Too much typing of long net device name. I expect network device names like eth0 , wlan0 , etc. The one pleasant surprise is that I did not have to apt-get install any firmware for wireless devices after first boot.

Second attempt at installation did the following before re-boot: Opened #2 term prior to re-boot ls /target/boot/ vmlinuz-4.9.0-1-686-pae initrd.img-4.9.0-1-686-pae ls /target/boot/grub grub.cfg unicode.pf2 #No other files or directories besides these two. Missing three directories compared to Debian-8. Look like incomplete grub install Booting System Rescue CD did NOT allow for mounting sda1 . Therefore, another problem in addition to grub. Due to inability to mount, not much more information available on sda1.
