Re: What package should I install to have a working wired LAN connection?

No. I ddn't use the tasksel command to select the Gnome desktop for installation. If I had done it, I'd have a bloated Gnome desktop environment.

On the console tty2, I installed the following packages:

xorg gnome-core gnome-tweak-tool synaptic gedit gdebi file-roller

In the past, after installing the above packages, I was able to boot into the bare Gnome desktop. I don't know why it doesn't work this time round.

How did you install your minimal desktop environment? - if you did it just from a netinst iso with no network, you might need to start by plugging in your USB network adapter and trying again :(
