|
| Congratulations! You just installed Debian Bookworm like an expert. |
|
| You can't go online just yet though, use the following command to get the name of your eth0: |
sudo networkctl list | grep ether |
| You should see a result similar to this: |
2 enp0s3 ether - unmanaged |
| Now that you know the eth0 name 'enp0s3' use 'sudo vi /etc/netowork/interfaces' edit this way: |
source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*
# The loopback network interface
auto eth0
iface lo inet loopback
allow-hotplug enp0s3
iface enp0s3 inet dhcp |
| Before getting updates use 'cp /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list' |
| Now use 'sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list' and remove 'non-free' and 'contrib' from end of lines. |
| Now we can restart our system and update it using 'sudo apt update && sudo apt -y upgrade' |
| Minimal Debian 12 installtion using i3: |
sudo apt install i3-wm suckless-tools w3m tmux xfce4-terminal xinit feh |
| Now restart your system again, sign in and use 'startx' to launch i3. |
| To generate your i3 config file, press enter. |
|
| Select 'Alt' as default modifier key, press enter. |
|
| Use 'Alt+Enter' to launch terminal or 'Alt+d' to run specific applications using dmenu. |
|
| Use 'Alt+Shift+e' to exit i3 and return to the command line. |
| For more information on how to use the i3 window manager use 'man i3' |
| If you still have questions about i3 and the CLI use 'w3m -no-cookie https://duckduckgo.com' |
| Note |
| From here you can install whonix using tmux/w3m in i3-wm by following the directions found in our blog here. |
