Re: Debian Sid. General questions.



If I want to use rescue mode for debian via netinst, will my pc have to have an internet connection? Yea, it is a stupid question, but anyway.

The live version will behave as a full installation of course, but the
netinstall rescue mode boots quickly and contains many tools. It has a
graphical mode.

I use it because I have another netbook with a broken EFI
implementation, that does not respect DefaultBoot and always boots to
Windows. If I use Windows I have to use the Debian rescue on a USB
stick to run efibootmgr on Linux, which can set NextBoot, which the
netbook does respect. The netbook Debian installation runs efibootmgr
after every boot to set NextBoot to grub.
