Wifi installation using debian-live-8.8.0-amd64-xfce-desktop+nonfree.iso

I'm not sure where to post this, but this is a good start. I'm trying to install Debian over a wifi network from debian-live-8.8.0-amd64-xfce-desktop+nonfree.is

Re: IMPORTANT: Do live Debian images have a future?

And I'll add my 2¢ as an end user. The live images exist IMHO to test compatibility before committing to installation, and to install what was just tested and demonstrated, regardless of environment. It's a nice feature (arguably an essential feature) that the actual install mirror *exactly* the

Debian package live-wrapper

To my understanding the Live ISO performs two functions: 1) Live operation from [USB] media without installation onto a hard drive. 2) Installation of Debian onto a hard drive entirely from that media if all looks fine in a Live session. Is my understanding correct? Is the installation consid

Re: IMPORTANT: Do live Debian images have a future?

My 2¢ would be does it load drivers for everything on the target computer, does the basic desktop operate/navigate, and will it install the same desktop while offline. Any packages to add (such as LibreOffice) can add off of additional media. Basic functionality comes first. System, computer har

Re: An abrupt End to Debian Live

I agree. As a power user sitting on the sidelines, I've used Linux in some form since the days when you updated your distribution by sending a blank 10mb tape to sunsite.unc.edu and greeted the mailman every day thereafter until your new copy arrived. Since then, I've installed and used Slac

And I could never find a step by step set of instructions to create a preseeded install medium from a Debian live image that included the nonfree repository. Such a medium would have been a restore USB thumb drive for a laptop, to include wifi drivers from which to run the install entirely from wi
