Just deleted all partitions [It was just a win8 operating system] Then
created the partition table, then installed the base system then grub,
then installed what I needed as I required it.

I don't think this is anything special? The same as I've always done.

No. As I wrote, installed base system

But a warning that what? Suddenly something that has always been all

Why would I use any of those? My laptop has been running
testing for 8 years, thought it was 7 years till I checked the dates,
and never had to do any of those things that I can recall.
Though my latest laptop that was going to be thrown away by
someone running XP, which is also 5 years old, is running Jessie only
for the last couple of months?
Interesting; thanks for the response. It's appreciated. Now I know.
Be well,
Charlie
