  1. X200 Download torrent of Debian 9 DVD 1 with non free software.

    1. https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/9.1.0+nonfree/amd64/bt-dvd/


  2. X200 install dvd to 16 GB USB drive

  3. X250 install usb to usb

    1. Bug: Doesn’t recognize mouse in the beginning, but does later, by the time I choose domain name.

    2. Bug: Installation procedure doesn’t have buttons on each screen to cancel cleanly.

      1. I really wanted those during netinstall

    3. Bug: Non free install still asked for wifi files, but they were there already, shouldn’t it detect before asking for them?

  1. Partition disks: guided: use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM

  2. Was able to point to other usb drive 128 gb

  3. Long time to erase disk

  4. Defaults selected ongoingly

  5. No extra desktops, just debian, not gnome.

    1. Something failed, got back to desktop choices, chose gnome

  6. Select and install software: /media/cdrom/:Please insert the disc labeled: ‘Debian GNU/Linux 9.1.0_Stretch_-Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 20170722-11:29’ in the drive ‘media/cdrom/’ and press [Enter]

    1. Can’t exit, skip, give other media, etc., can’t escape, continue just stays there

    2. On file 1223 of 1479 blinks on the screen when I type escape
