Re: The multiple requests on moving this "off topic" thread.All those requests are only serving to make it even more off topic, and it is a mixture of several topics, starting with " Running other distro ISO's---", those other distros, are actually of no interest to some of us , ...

https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian#Don.27t_blindly_follow_bad_advice Don't blindly follow bad advice Unfortunately there's a lot of bad advice on the Internet. Tutorials found on blogs, forums and other sites often include instructions that will break your system in subtle ways. Don't simply f...

More questions, from this end: by fdelente » The package that asks for parameters is https://deb.sambaedu.org/debian/pool/stable/s/sambaedu/sambaedu-ad-client_4.0.296_all.deb ----snip---- However, when I install it on a machine, I have several questions about the Kerberos realm, the admin password, ...

if I do a dpkg-preconfigure, is there somewhere a file that is created with the answers to the questions, so that I can then copy this file on another machine and have the package install non-interactively? See debconf.conf(5) . There is some more documentation, here: https://manpages.debian.org/un...

There might be some other ways to approach this, more practical,(my opinion). But no point in going into them if the OP is not interested in other options. Also something to consider, and I may be wrong, since I don't use windows my self, and don't need it, also this was several years ago I did need...

You could do it that way as well, type in the program name, and hit enter.

Ahh, Ok, well your welcome, That is a lot of installs.... You mention : « job » to do it (not really but I have been assigned the task) I can't help but wonder, is this some kind of home work project, or How is it you were assigned,...I would ask who ever assigned you this task , if they could also ...

Well, I do want to give the OP credit, they are usually pretty good at solving their problems, and thanks for sharing the solutions...maybe it will help others .

but can a file be used instead? My approach would be to make a copy, or take notes, and put them in a file. EG: On the first install and set up procedure, copy/paste your answers/responses to a file, keep that handy,...When you do the next install, instead of typing each response letter by letter,y...

Well, I guess it did not work did it ? Using Ubuntu ppa's in your sources.list is not a good solution,..as you can now see. I don't know, but I see they do have builds specifically for Debian,: https://wiki.winehq.org/Debian It does not make sense to me why you would use Ubuntu ppas,...Maybe H_O_A-S...

They don't say much: https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkInterfaceNames#Why_it_was_abandoned Why it was abandoned At least in theory, if module probes completed in a different order, eth0 and eth1 might switch places on successive boots. As boot processes became less linear and interfaces became more hot...

This: https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkInterfaceNames Mentions the excuse they use, kind of ironic: https://wiki.debian.org/htdocs/debwiki/img/admon-warning.png Anything that changes the names of your network interfaces may result in the machine suddenly not being reachable over SSH, so if you're edit...
