I don't understand why you want to start NM when you're only going to ditch it for ifupdown. Why not try to get ifupdown working. Having NM still installed shouldn't affect that, because adding interface entries to /etc/network/interfaces prevents NM from trying to handle those interfaces. > As for reinstalling anything that's hard to do without network > connectivity. Why? Your other machine is apparently running bookworm, so you can download from packages.debian.org/index any packages needed when trixie's APT says it requires them. Cheers, David.
