Do you have glib-x11 installed on your system?

If I would say yes, it would install several 100 MByte more, which I
absolutely not want. I have nearly all packages installed, which I also
had under Wheeze but Stretch is more then twice as bib as Wheeze.
The partition is 10 GByte big and I have only 1100 MByte left over.
Looks like I have installed Windows 10 light!

But glib-x11 has nothing to du with Recommends, because it is essential
for a working blueman..

"fine tuning" is good, if you even don't know, what is missing!

apt does not tell me (Recommends/Suggests) that I need glib-x11 to get
something working, because even if you have Recommends/Suggests set to
no, apt-get show always what can be also installed together.

I have just extracted my "base install" into a chroot and tried to
install blueman but it does not suggest or recommend essential the
essential package to get blueman working.
This has absolutely nothing to do with Recommends/Suggests.

Normally our winter is colder up to -30°C (not very often, but it happen)

I was following the instructions from the Debian Website and downloaded
a Windows tool, which extract the content of an ISO image and copy it
bootable on the USB Stick.
The second DVD was copied into a subfolder DVD2/
I could boot from USB, installed the base and rebooted.
And now I could not more access the USB stick even if it was registered
in /etc/apt/sources.list because apt want to mount a DVD Rom and not an
USB Stick.
So, something is wrong in the install instructions

But it seems not to work under Stretch, because in the past I have
created from /var/cache/apt/archives a local mirror for other
installations.

"ifup eth0" gaved it.

He sayed unknown device
if I vet the prompt and log into as root and then type
ifup enp0s25
it works.

Unfortunately I have not my old P4 here, because the HDD is booting in
it properly. But the compay HDD do not boot in the T400

How many peoples have more then one Ethernet Interface in the computer?
The ones WHO have, know anyway how to manage them. My Router has 2
4-Port GBit cards and I know every interface by heart. I think, I will
by a new HDD before I upgrade to Stretch. Debian now becomes
unpredictable.
Seufz, I liked the time of Debian Slink 2.1 in 1999!
Anything was soooo easy!

I nailed in the past the ethN on the HWAddress.
