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..
Did you try to configure wireless network during installation? Debian detects network interfaces then offers network config before you can even partition the disk
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.
Distribution: Debian Wheezy, Jessie, Sid/Experimental, playing with LFS.

Don't feel bad about that. I had to look that one up.
I still prefer picnic = Problem In Chair Not In Computer
Easier for a grumpy geezer like me to remember. I use it a lot. Most of my problems boil down to that.
