    I'll use Knoppix(downloading right now), when it's done I'll post. Debian doesn't recognize DHCP.

    Originally posted by apt Did you get the DHCP error while trying to configure networking during install? If so, you probably don't have the proper firmware loaded for your wireless card (debian doesn't ship non-free firmware in the official iso)
    Yes, but I downloaded the firmware and didn't work.

    mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
    swapon -a

    How to proceed now?

    what are you trying to accomplish


    if you're trying to set up partitions, lol. First you're best off doing that during OS installation, not beforehand with GPartEd.

    Second, assuming you're not encrypting, you'll want something like the following (size - FS - mountpoint):

    [PRIMARY PART]
    200MB - EXT4 - /boot

    [EXTENDED PART]
    100GB - EXT4 - /
    900GB - EXT4 - /home

    sizes are just what I'd use, you can do whatever. If you have 8 or more gigs of RAM swap space is unneccessary UNLESS you have a good reason for it (graphics/video editing that requires handling massive files etc.).

    The bare minimum is setting up a /boot and a / (root) partition, but I like to keep /home (user profiles) separate so if you fill it up with porno it doesn't stop your system from booting. You can also set up separate partitions for /etc, /tmp, /var and any other folder you want but I think that's largely unnecessary for most users.

    PS. /boot configuration is different for EFI and MBR, MBR is the legacy standard and I generally just use that, not sure of extra steps to get EFI working. You may need to turn on 'legacy boot' or something in BIOS for MBR boot to work properly depending on how new your machine is.
    The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

    What the FUCK does that have to do with anything OP is asking?

    OP, create a bootable live distro. Use GParted to partition your drive. Also, you could boot directly to the installer of Debian and it will ask you during setup for partition info. You can choose to use the whole disk (it sounds like you want this) or a custom partition scheme.

    Also, be mindful of how you're installing. Secure Boot on/off? Hard drive controller settings? Speckles has a point when it comes to that, but otherwise, pretty moot.

    This. Also known as CSM.

    Again this motherfucker attacks me, now I think the problem is Debian-based distros. A friend of mine recommended me to format all partitions, repartitioning as MBR instead of GPT and NTFS instead of ext4. Opinions?

    I've used debian for years, never seen this particular issue.

    MBR vs GPT - MBR is fine, like I mentioned earlier you might need to set boot options in BIOS to legacy/MBR for that drive though.

    NTFS vs EXT - I don't think lunix will even install (root) on NTFS because of the way it handles permissions. I couldn't tell you the specifics but lunix support for NTFS isn't great and read/write/access speeds are typically significantly lower than native filesystem formats. The only reason you should have an NTFS or EXFAT partition at all is if you want it to be accessible from windows; there's no good reason to try to use it for your root filesystem. /home maybe if you're dual booting.
