Organizing Debian Install Procedure

Debian

I wrote some articles about Debian installation, such as below.

These articles are not all. For example, I wrote about iBus-SKK, but I select IME as uim-SKK, not iBus-SKK. I would like to choose articles to be reread in the future. Today's article is the one.
Here is a procedure to install as minimum software for me.

  1. Select only System Tools and Laptop during Install process
  2. After reboot, enable wireless by editing /etc/network/interfaces like below.
  3. /etc/init.d/networking restart
  4. apt-get update
  5. apt-get install terminator
  6. apt-get install gdm3
  7. apt-get install iceweasel
  8. apt-get install icedove
  9. shutdown -r now

Adding configuration to /etc/network/interfaces is below. The command "wpa_passphrase $ESSID $PASSPHRASE" tells about ESSID and PASSWORD values. If wireless interface would be up, "iwlist scan" command shows the access point information within the area.

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
  wpa-ssid $ESSID
  wpa-psk $PASSWORD

After reboot, GUI is enabled and login.

  1. After login, launch terminator
  2. su -
  3. apt-get install network-manager-gnome
  4. apt-get install uim
  5. apt-get install uim-skk
  6. remove wlan0 configuration from /etc/network/interfaces
  7. shutdown -r now

After reboot and login, NetworkManager will be active. NetworkManager manages only NICs that are not defined in /etc/network/interfaces.

Next step is installing other software, like Emacs, Wireshark. Reference sites are below.
