When I use something like Debian 9 netinst, without a network, I use the Command Line, through Text Console 1-6, accessible via Alt-F1 through Alt-F6. This is what I have been using (when needed) since I first encountered Linux, in the early 1990's. This is the original way of conversing with Linux, and makes an awesome Emergency access, in case the Graphical Interface crashes. Good luck!
