Many people are installing Debian "from the internet". Yet, the Securing Debian Manual suggests no contact with the internet until the installation is "secure."
The manual states that installing the OS off the web is not the best idea (Section 3.3 found here: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ch3.en.html ) Is the manual WRONG about net installs? Are net installs (let's say for a Desktop environment) totally without vulnerability risks? When, during an installation, do/should people think about security/vulnerability issues of the software they are installing? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
