Nice question..
I CANNONT use Debian netinstallar...long long story, so I want to learn how I can install Debian from scratch, exactly, how is the tool base for start the installation with APT?
Of course I need bash, some libs, etc files, but that is needed for a minimal boot system..
Next how tool is necessary? (debconf, apt, dselect, ecc)..I try to compile the source of that programs, next try to chroot them in a dir, but it can be more simple install the .deb package with some dpkg --root flag..See my other topic..
Thanks a lot
Sorry for my bad bad English
Can you download the first CD and install? If I remember correctly, everything needed for a minimal debian install is on the first CD. Most packages for a full desktop are on the first 2 CD's.
Remember, this is NOT the netinstall CD. It should be a full 650MB CD...
You can boot any livecd/floppy of your choice (preferably deb based, but there are rpm packages as well) and install debootstrap. It will build the base system for you.
That the problem. On that pc I don't have floppy or cdrom.
Only USB and Boot from LAN.
I have made a very minimal system that can boot from lan over NFS, but now I need to install the program throught APT
Well you can also boot from USB stick, or from the hard drive (though for that you need to somehow get a boot manager and an iso image onto the computer first...)
