Operating system installation

One Time Setup - One setup to rule them all

Operating system installation

The reference distribution is Debian.

The following notation is used to categorized tasks:

🖥️ for desktop related tasks
🧰 for development related tasks
🛡️ for security related tasks

Debian stable minimal installation

The current Debian stable is the version 12 "bookworm".

A bootable USB key can be created using the "network install" or netinst. The ISO can be downloaded here: https://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/

Boot on the USB key using UEFI, select the non graphical installer and use the following configuration:

Default language: English
Location: other/Europe/France
Locales: en_US.UTF-8
Keyboard: American English
Network: use the first non wireless interface
Hostname: your choice
Domain name: your choice
Root password: leave it empty
Full name and username for the new user: your choice
Password for the new user: your choice
Partition disks: Guided - use entire disk then select your disk
Partitioning scheme: All files in one partition and validate the changes
Debian mirror: France/deb.debian.org without proxy
Popularity contest: your choice
Software selection: nothing

Move to Debian testing 🧰

If needed, the move to Debian testing must be done now.

Copy the original sources.list file:

 sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.orig

Edit the sources.list file:

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free-firmware
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ testing-security main non-free-firmware

Clean the apt state informations:
```
 sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
```
Update the new packages information:
```
 sudo apt update
```
Upgrade the distribution:
```
 sudo apt full-upgrade
```
Reboot the PC.

Note

Testing helpers can be installed with:

 sudo apt install -y apt-listbugs apt-listchanges

However this seems to break the following tasksel commands.

Add a desktop environment 🖥️

Just run sudo tasksel and select: Debian desktop environment and GNOME.

The network configuration file must be updated when switching to a desktop environment:

Copy the original interfaces file:

 sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.orig

Edit the interfaces file and remove the primary network interface stuff so that it ends by:
```
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
```

Finally reboot the PC.

Add laptop utilities

When running on a laptop, some utilities can be added by selecting the laptop task when running sudo tasksel.
