Re: Old Debian and Starting A Service


Well I got the install to work, I think I went through this once before, but forgot about it.
I had to use the DD option with Rufus for it to write the image properly to the installation media.
But I'm having the same problem I had before, with no network.
I installed options
11 12 & 13
in the final installation, but it did not install any network stuff.
It does not even get an IP address over Ethernet.
It was connected to my WIFI during the installation, I selected my nttwork and signed in.
This is 11.7 i386 net installation media.

Here's the trouble with a current Debian,
I go through steps 1, 2, and 3, the latter being the keyboard selection.
Then, at that point, it tells me that it cannot find the installation media.
Really?
It booted to it!
So I try option 6, which is search for media, and it cannot find it.
I go into option 7, and elevate the install to medium, and try 6 again, and it can't find the installation media.
So what do I do then?
Thanks for any help.

I tried to apt-get install SSH, and it said it is already running the latest, which is the latest for it's package, which I don't know is Debian 2.1, because it's Vinux 2.1.
But it does not know systemd or systemctl.
So I don't know how to get the service running.

Try /etc/init.d/ssh start

You seem to be having a lot of difficulties with the basics of installing and setting up a system that no one else does.

Perhaps it would be better to contact a local Linux user's group and arrange for someone to help you through the installation of a current Debian version.
