what's dget come in?
nebul8 2017-02-03 15:14:04
hi all. I'm just trying to install debian on an old laptop for the first time. Is there any easy way to install additional packages in the live environment, so that I can use them for preparing my storage setup?
nebul8 2017-02-03 15:14:16
I'm using the netinstall image 8.7.1 btw...
nebul8 2017-02-03 15:14:22
any hint appreciated! :)
zykotick9 2017-02-03 15:17:19
nebul8: "..preparing my storage setup?" <- the installer can't do this for you? the advanced setup offers some additional options for loading things
nebul8 2017-02-03 15:18:05
zykotick9: no, it doesn't ;) I want to install cryptsetup for preparing my storage devices
nebul8 2017-02-03 15:19:11
(I want to use custom parameters for the LUKS containers + want the LUKS container directly on the SSD, without a GPT partition)
nebul8 2017-02-03 15:19:28
I'm playing around with coreboot
zykotick9 2017-02-03 15:19:49
nebul8: i use a coreboot distro called libreboot... have fun...
nebul8 2017-02-03 15:20:08
zykotick9: thx!
zykotick9 2017-02-03 15:22:02
nebul8: check out the advanced/expert install options... i forget the wording
nebul8 2017-02-03 15:24:34
zykotick9: yeah, it's called expert installer
nebul8 2017-02-03 15:24:55
but anyway, I need cryptsetup available in the live environment
nebul8 2017-02-03 15:25:21
so I'll try now using the DVD image instead of the netinstall image as a workaround
zykotick9 2017-02-03 15:25:25
nebul8: when you say "live environment" do you mean the Live image - on cd/usb? or netinst?
nebul8 2017-02-03 15:25:31
netinst
dvs 2017-02-03 15:26:05
nebul8, do you have the exact filename of the iso you used?
nebul8 2017-02-03 15:26:07
during installation, you can switch to several virtual consoles with e.g. ctrl+alt+f2
nebul8 2017-02-03 15:26:13
dvs: yep hang on
nebul8 2017-02-03 15:26:25
debian-8.7.1-amd64-netinst.iso
nebul8 2017-02-03 15:26:28
dvs: ^
dvs 2017-02-03 15:26:29
ok
nebul8 2017-02-03 15:36:08
okay, I now booted into expert mode (still using the netinst image), and I still cannot find a way to install additional packages
nebul8 2017-02-03 15:36:27
so I'm trying out the full dvd image now...
dvs 2017-02-03 15:37:22
nebul8, Why do you need additional packages?
nebul8 2017-02-03 15:37:56
dvs: I need cryptsetup to configure my storage setup
dvs 2017-02-03 15:40:08
nebul8, ah. I thought expert install had an option for that. Anyways, that's not something I've tried.
nebul8 2017-02-03 15:42:13
dvs: you can indeed configure an encrypted storage setup via the expert installer, but not the way I want it ;) like e.g. using a custom cipher with a specific hash-algorithm
