Looking for a debiain based system

Looking for a debian based system, Using sqeeze, Stable...

The debian i downloaded didn't even have a network manager, what the hell is up with that? How do manege wifi networks without any networking tools?

Dose anyone have a remix, with network manager installed and any network drivers the pricks didn't put in in the system.?

Not looking for anything larger then 700mb..

is make and make install, Insatlled on squeeze?

apt-get install network-manager

Try READING the Install Guide. Or better yet go play with Ubuntu, you will fit right in.

Can't install anything from the internet, when there is no internet? and ubuntu sucks.

Use a cable, install network manager, and then start your wifi.

Did you try to configure wireless network during installation? Debian detects network interfaces then offers network config before you can even partition the disk

I see you've been here for years lowlux. Then you know how things work and you're just trolling.

I really do realize that this is not a nice thing to say but it is so true that it makes me hurt my mouth grinning.

I'm thinking someone got a lump of coal and stood up for the big bash last night. LOL!

Whereas the debian everyone else downloaded did... which leads one to suspect a possible PEBKC situation...

Exactly what I was thinking!

Forgive my ignorance, but what does PEBKC mean? Is it one of the plethora of abbreviations and acronyms used on computer fora, or does it refer to a specific person or incident?
I occasionally have difficulty understanding what is written in forum posts, because I am not familiar with the specialised terminology many people like to use. Once in a while, I cannot figure out what an acronym or abbreviation stands for and am left guessing.
This is one of those times.

Don't feel bad about that. I had to look that one up.

Easier for a grumpy geezer like me to remember. I use it a lot. Most of my problems boil down to that.

But is does not come with Network Manager either by default. I use Ceni just fine though as well as Rutilt and Wicd also.

Not sure anyone's stated the obvious yet but if you install Debian from a LiveCD, it installs a network manager.

Hi, I have recently installed Debian Squeeze but I have installed it from the Live DVD and everything works fine. All you have to do after the installation is add the repositories from it's own Live DVD and you are ready to go. Check this site if you want to download the Live..: http://www.debian.org/CD/live/
If you need a step-by-step on how to install the Nvidia Drivers just let me know I think I might be able to help you with that.
I'll be in touch just in case you want to install it the way I told you.
Good luck and see you soon.

You might want to try out crunchbang it's based on squeeze and is very lightweight and stable. You cold still install KDE or whatever from synaptic and it has all codecs installed by default
