I have two computers. One is fedora and the other I want Debian on it.
Both computers run Ethernet to a router that runs dd-wrt and fedora
connects to internet just fine. I’m actually running a wireless Ethernet
to the modem that connects to isp(cox).But if Debian has firmware included in the installation for WiFi then I
may try that on it.Is it possible to manually setup a link to mirror after installation and
scan the mirror manual.I know much earlier versions we was able to do that, but that was a
while ago.
