For an installation that /requires/ swap, due to a limited RAM target, simply to
proceed, an extra swap from the target freespace could be created in a

I do understand your frustration, the Manual option for the Debian
Installer is complex.
It took me a while to absorb, and understand... see further comment below

Windows uses a swap file, not a separate partition. We are told that
there is no performance penalty for Linux to do so also.
Using a swap file can cause a performance penalty if the file is heavily
fragmented. Granted, it also applies to a fragmented LVM

Not true. There's another selectable option I always use: create no swap. /If/

Hello all,
Longer version of the question : –
Why does the Debian Graphical installer compromise any other Linux install
on the same HDD/SSD by reformatting swap. I doubt that it affects Windows

test).
I used debian
Hi, I installed Debian 10 on my old laptop (BIOS mode) using the
unsupported firmware iso.
I noticed that using the Graphical installer it fails connecting to the
wifi.
Using the classic ncurses installer, it connects successfully.
I checked also with the latest firmware-10.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso

Hello,
I have a simple question, is the synaptics driver missing in the
official Debian ISO files? Because running the graphical installer won't
let me use my touchpad (which works pretty fine once installed).
I think it should be enabled in case it's currently missing.

Hi,
A while ago I created a USB stick to install Debian from, as per [1] —
I seem to recall I needed to get the graphical installer from the
"gtk" subdirectory to get the graphical install mode (of course).
Indeed it's still there for Lenny [2]. But when I tried to create a

partition bloomers!!
For historical reasons which are not relevant, I have a machine with 4
disks; 2 IDE (hda hdb)and 2 sata (sda sdb). There is swap space ~1GB on
each of hda, sda and sdb. I have sdb partitioned with 3 primary

I intend to install the "testing " release via netinst , this is my first time to install Debian, two questions:
1. What is the graphical installer , and can can it help me with the installation ?
2. Is it network installation as well ?
