No connection to the internet. No connection to the local network. Has a
Debian machine ever been so emasculated? Plus it has nothing to do with

The recent thread "parted is ALMOST suitable" has a post
with the line

 Wheezy has /etc/udev/rules.d/91-permissions.rules; Jessie doesn't.

Perhaps if you reread that portion of the thread and ask yourself:

 Wheezy has /etc/udev/rules.d/91-permissions.rules; what would happen
 if Jessie did too?
