And then just install the desktop you want. Then you can pick whether or not to use a full blown gnome or not. See post #12 about using aptitude with the -R for stripping suggested packages. |
That article does not really explain how to install a CLI system from the alternate CD. Basically, you boot up and at the very first screen, you press F4 and select Command Line System. Then select Install now and you're done.
And I forget: if you're finished with aptitude, enter this: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start or sudo service gdm start to start the graphical user interface. Once you're in, you can continue installing packages from the command line, from gnome-terminal or from synaptic. |

Code:
ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/* . Then cd back up one directory to the firefox directory: Code:
cd .. Code:
./firefox & Or you can just move the firefox directory to /usr/lib, and then make a symlink from /usr/lib/firefox/firefox to /usr/bin/firefox. As root: Code:
mv firefox /usr/lib/ In either case, you can put a launcher for firefox on your desktop to run it from wherever you put it. Note: These are for 32bit Debian. I am not sure how to install the firefox from mozilla.com on a 64bit system, since mozilla does not have (as far as I know) a 64bit package for firefox. |
You might like to have a look at this book "Degunking Linux" (By Roderick W Smith) for some ideas.
