Re: support for xfce in bullseye minimal netinst iso

Hi Team

i have tried to install the minimal iso file yesterday , but Network Manager is not installing, also build-essentials not there for building the xfce tar files

i tried to install the Network manager deb file but it required so many dependencies, i managed to install except one deb file
called glib , not sure which package it contains

can some one help as to what are the required dependent deb files for Network Manager as well as build-essentials

Hi Thomas

Thanks for your reply

Sorry it was not a minimal buster iso with xfce but i got this file

debian-10.4.0-amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso which is around 640 MB

I was able to install and get the system up and running last year , later i updated to Bullseye but going for a kernel update lost my OS few days before

I then downloded the minimal bullseye iso , but without xfce it is a big problem, also having issues with broadcom wifi driver and there is no wired connectivity.to my system.

I am not able to download the bullseye iso file which you mentioned since it is around 3.7 GB which is too large.

Can you suggest some links for downloading the bullseye along with xfce which comes to less than 1 GB or preferably somewhere around 500-800 MB, or suggest ways to install the xfce offline  , there is no deb file for such GUI's

Are sure that you did not use the DVD-1 images with these earlier Debian
versions ?

  https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/list-dvd/debian-11.0.0-amd64-DVD-1.list.gz
lists various XFCE related packages.
This list describes the ISO image at
  https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-dvd/debian-11.0.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso


The netinst ISOs are too small to hold the packages of a desktop
environment. Looking into debian-10.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso ,
debian-9.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso, and debian-8.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso i do not
see any package files with "xfce" in the name.


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
