Comments/Problems:
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>
I am replacing Windows XP with Linux. This was my second install to choose
KDE instead of Gnome (which fails to start on my machine. KDE works fine after
this install).
The install went fine. Downloading files from the internet appeared to work during
the install, but upon the first (second, third, ...) boot, 'network is unreachable'
messages occur. Cannot ping any other machines. I currently have an open question
in the Beginners Questions section of the Debian User Forums > Cannot Setup Network
Correctly.
When I installed Fedora 19, network connectivity worked fine and I was able to
access external internet sites, but Gnome failed. I switched to Debian hoping
to resolve outstanding problems.
Apparently other users are having problems with network connectivity after Wheezy
install too...
