I want to share with everyone a fix for not getting network / internet
if you're installing Debian without a desktop (ie. not selecting a
desktop AND Unchecking the Debian Desktop Environment option).
If you install as I mentioned above and reboot, you get the command
prompt to log into (which is what I wanted so I could install minimal
KDE as I mentioned in another post). However, you can NOT get on the
internet! Even though the installer used the internet and set it up, the
settings won't stick. That's because the installer doesn't install
network-manager into the system!
Do you mean that network-manager is compulsory in stretch ? Impossible
to use a fixed configuration in /etc/network/interfaces or another
connection manager like wicd ?
The OP is particularly drawing attention to a situation which could
possibly occur when *Debian is installed*. Unfortunately, although one
of the conditions under which the installation was done (no selection
of a DE) is stated, the complete situation is not described. This
reduces the usefulness of the suggested fix.
My Bad: I was installing no DE *and* via WiFi (not cable) connection on
a 10 yr. old laptop.
