Re: Unidentified subject! (wireless installation problem)



Clonezilla looks interesting I wasn't aware of that, thanks

I could also get around the problem by planning ahead and copy a fairly complete 
set of deb files from the fully configured system to a memory stick. But that 
method and clonezilla assume you're reinstalling the same release of debian on 
the same hardware.

At one point, I installed the system with only the first CD and accidentally 
didn't configure apt to pull anything from the network. I was ticked that I 
skipped over it because I wasn't paying attention, so I didn't think to check if 
it had all the tools to setup wireless networking. I might try that again later 
just see. I blew it away and setup a system using the wired NIC then switched to 
wireless later, which didn't require any rigmarole at all. I seem to remember it 
being a pain getting the system to automatically use the wireless when I last 
did this (a year or so ago, most likely during lenny's reign), but it worked 
perfectly this time. I'm messing with the 3D acceleration currently. Once I get 
that worked out I'll see if the first CD has enough packages to get the wireless 
working.

When your system is set up to your satisfaction, take a copy (e.g. with 
Clonezilla).  Then, if you need to reinstall, just reinstall form that.
