Debian Bullseye Netinst Download //TOP\\
Janvier Bender
A network install or netinst CD is a single CD which enablesyou to install the entire operating system. This single CD containsjust the minimal amount of software to install the base system andfetch the remaining packages over the Internet.
The netinst CD here is a small CD image that contains just the core Debian installer code and a small core set of text-mode programs (known as "standard" in Debian). To install a desktop or other common software, you'll also need either an Internet connection or some other Debian CD/DVD images.
In this guide, we will walk you through the installation of a Debian 11 (Bullseye) Minimal Server, using the netinstall CD ISO image. This installation you will carry out is appropriate for building a future customizable server platform, without a GUI (Graphical User Interface).
You can use it to install only the necessary software packages that you need to work with, which we will show you in future guides. However, before you move further, read the system requirements, download the netinstall CD ISO image and then proceed to the Debian 11 installation instructions.

I mistakenly installed a netinstall-iso and struggeled to get it connected to WiFi. Now as it is connected and after i Performer "apt-get Upgrade && apt-get Update" it doesnt find task-xfce-desktop. (apt-get install task-xfce-desktop -y = E: Unable to locate package) Furthermore it also doesnt find "task-gnome-desktop" (i am Not bounded to a specific GUI). Someone Knows why i cant find a Desktop GUI package?
Download the amd64 Debian 11 Bullseye firmware-11.5.0-amd64-netinst.iso file from the Debian.org website. Pick the architecture supported by your computer. For example, if your computer is really old it might not support 64-bit (amd64). In that case, you will need the 32-bit ISO (i386) file.
There is a very common way to install without a network: use larger installation media. IIRC all of the free packages (and maybe contrib and non-free?) fit on a blueray image. So if your target has a blueray player you can install everything you need without a network. Using a CD or set of CDs you can get something between netinstall and all the packages.
I tried Gemini r.c-4.3, installation went fine, a bit longer than Centaurus' though, however, upon reboot I was greeted by "No bootable device found" error message, thus the system wouldn't boot, I tried reinstalling grub but that didn't work. This happened to me once too with Gemini r.c-4.1, but at that time I was able to use the system for a couple of weeks, then after an update/upgrade and reboot, found the same message. I tried in a USB stick where Centaurus installs and works just fine. Not sure what's causing this, but my guess is that some pkg (grub?) update/version might be the culprit. I'll try with a Bullseye netinstall.iso and see if the problem occurs there too.
@q4osteam, I tried with Bullseye net install, I used this one I have around debian-bullseye-DI-alpha3-amd64-netinst.iso, it worked; after install and reboot system booted properly, and I was able to login. I didn't install any DE but worked in text-mode only. I rebooted and logged in to Centaurus and did a web search on how to connect to my wireless via command line because I had no idea, once I found that wanted to boot again Bullseye, but it didn't work this time; same "no bootable device" error message again, which is even weirder than it happened with Gemini. This is the contents of grub.cfg file on EFI/debian dir:
@q4osteam I installed Gemini, and it's working just fine. Conditions are a bit different though:
In my previous attempt at trying Gemini, I wanted to install it to USB stick, just like I did with Centaurus with no issues, as you know I got that "no bootable device" error as well as in Bullseye when I install it from a netinst.iso. The reason I was using a USB stick is the laptop had no HDD, now it does. So, maybe the problem occurs only when installing to a USB stick, cause I got no errors and didn't have to do any special procedures whatsoever; just install, reboot and use. I'm writing this from it. I did have one small problem on first boot; the timezone didn't work as expected and I had to manually change the time, after updating/upgrading and rebooting it does now.
I have this PC working ok, with debian 10 buster (kanotix) (2GB RAM pentium 4 dual core). I like the small dietpi memory footprint including desktop environment, that is why I wanted to use it on this box.
nvidia 340 legacy driver is supported up to buster and sid. My expectation was to use Dietpi on this 2GB RAM box with 340-nvidia driver. I was testing running dietpi installation script on buster as @Joulinar advised above, but it seems there are broken packages. Unfortunatelly only bookworm and bullseye has support currently by DietPi.
To do so, simply install the system using the Debian netinst images. After that apply the commands below.Please do not install a graphical desktop environment or web server,use a minimal server installation only (SSH server and standard system utilities).For a step by step install guide have a look into theDebian minimal install guide.
The live installation kit allows you to "pre-test" your operating system without making any changes to your computer. In this case, the system only loads into memory and a complete operating system starts. Of course, changes made during use (such as installing software packages, saved files, documents, etc.) will be lost when the machine is turned off. In the case of the Live system, we already have to select the appropriate desktop environment when downloading the image file, as each desktop environment is packaged in a separate image file. These image files are much larger than the netinst versions because they have everything you need to start a live system. Here are two links: the link to the fixed version of the 11.1.0 page and the link to the current version:
Navigate to the latest debian-11.X.X-amd64-netinst.iso image and copy the URL in order to directly download it to your Proxmox host.
a. using the shell of the Proxmox host change to the directory where Proxmox stores its images:
cd /var/lib/vz/template/iso/
b. with the ẁget commend pull the latest image (example: wget -cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/debian-11.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso)
Note: Alternativly you can also download the netinst.iso to your computer first and then upload it to your proxmox over the Web UI.
I have missed the opportunity of creating all my computer systems with the same directory structure, hence there are small, subtle differences. To accommodate all of these I created a small shell script, prepare-debian11.sh. This script prompts me for the most important pieces of information and creates both the preseed file as well as the JSON build-file required by Packer.
