Well that was from running the program
tasksel
Not choices from the installer.
So after it's installed, run
tasksel.
You can probably arrow to them, I don't know about
that, but in an SSH session, they didn't read correctly with regard to their
choice numbers.

Glenn,
I just installed in a
Virtual environment using the Latest Debian Net Install iso.
Nothing said "something
else".
These were the
choices.
1)
Debian desktop environment, (*)
2)
... GNOME,
3)
... xfce,
4)
... GNOME
Flashback,
5)
... KDE Plasma,
6)
... Cinnamon,
7)
... MATE, (*)
8)
... LXDE,
9)
... LXQt,
10)
... web server,
11)
... ssh server,
12)
... standard system utilities, (*)
1,
7 and 12 will be installed as default if you do nothing.
I just did another install just selecting 12 but I
didn't have Internet, I probably could use those commands someone gave us, but
without Internet to access my email and see what those commands are, I'm up a
dry creek without a paddle.
nmcli and nmtui need to be installed with standard
system utilities #12.

David

What was the "something
else"? I don't know, and I can't tell you unless you tell me.
This page says you will
have choices, but doesn't list the choices:
It does say that right
at package selection you have a working Debian system.
The Package Selection
part says this helpful thing.
The “Desktop
environment” task
will install a graphical desktop environment.
The
instructions referenced above with the link says the default graphical
desktop environment is GNOME but I've found that it installs
MATE.
I
cannot find anywhere where it tells me where the Package Selections are,
so I made a vmware installation of the latest Debian Net
Install.
1)
Debian desktop environment, (*)
2)
... GNOME,
3)
... xfce,
4)
... GNOME
Flashback,
5)
... KDE Plasma,
6)
... Cinnamon,
7)
... MATE, (*)
8)
... LXDE,
9)
... LXQt,
10)
... web server,
11)
... ssh server,
12)
... standard system utilities, (*)
1,
7 and 12 will be installed as default if you do nothing.
So for a CLI system, I'm
going to just install 12, standard
system utilities.
But
first since I already have a virtual system, I am going to install the
Default:
1)
Debian desktop environment, 7) ... MATE, and 12) ...
standard system utilities.
I deleted the Virtual
Debian installation and reinstalled just picking #12, standard system
utilities.
This time I had no
networking like I had with the Default installation, 1, 7, and 12.
Also the programs nmcli
and nmtui both were not available, so I have no way to access the
Internet.
It might be my Virtual
Box settings, I've had to play around with them before to get
connectivity, but the default settings would not allow me to ping google.com.
So it looks like you'll
still need to either install a GUI then purge the GUI programs for MATE or
connect to Ethernet or use the difficult for me to remember console
commands to connect. My notebook only has WiFi..

David

David,
The way the menus were laid out over SSH,
it sounded like #13 was
something else
But I wasn't sure if it was stating that
this was #13, but all the other choices were desktop environments, which
I knew I didn't want.

Glenn,
You didn't say what choice #13 is.
Just select nothing at all.
Then get smxi and install your console browsers and
utilities.
Download and unzip and the file you want to run is "smxi". So
chmod +x that file and run it using root from the directory you
downloaded it to by using ./smxi the smxi script will move itself
where it belongs.
Run smxi as root and follow the prompts to update and upgrade
then go to Program Install and install Console Browsers, Console
Utilities and Ceni which is an accessible network manager.
Then you'll have a functional console system just remember the
command for Ceni has a capital "C". Install nmcli and nntui when
you have networking using "apt install nmcli nntui".
Does anyone remember the very old text menu for Debian? It
allowed users to select programs by description, they were all console
interface programs.
Regards,
David

Does
this install anything CLI only?
I ran it, and the menus via SSH
are sketchy, I wanted to select "something
else" and I think it
is #13, but I was afraid of doing a desktop install,
because if
I accidentally did that, the OMV won't install, and I would have
to start over with my Debian CLI setup.
