Beginners Questions • [Solved] Install Debian in command mode, no window manager

"Debian desktop environment" should also be unchecked.

That was the part I had missed.

I had unchecked all the window managers, but I did not uncheck the "Debian desktop environment" option.


OK, to recap,

to install a command-line version of Debian, I do...

- uncheck Debian desktop environment
- uncheck any window managers

(and, optionally, but I need this)

- check ssh server

Many thanks for your reply.

I am now working with a command-line Debian.


Support in the forum is awesome.
