Re: Latest Debian Stable 32 bit with non free firmware
I'm not sure this is the right problem. The installation talked to me
just fine. I took a crack at installing Mate along with everything else.
When it finnished, I went for the re-boot option. It came up asking for
user name and password. I guess it took it, but I was lost there. Never
used a GUI before. Tried Alt-right arrow to get to a console.
NothingWent through the shutdown procedure and it did so.
Going to try for a CLI install this afternoon.
Thank you much.
