Install debian 10 - buster on external HDD with USB adapter
- dd if=debian-live-10.1.0-amd64-standard.iso of=/dev/sda bs=512k # write ISO file to USB pen drive (8GB)
- boot the pen with UEFI support (Esc and F9 to access Boot menu on HP)
- after boot change the layout to pt in the file /etc/default/keyboard and then run setupcon
- Boot the pen again and choose Debian installer (console)
- Select portuguese language and configure the locale accordingly
- Use guided partinioning, whole disk, scsi5 , sdc with 500 GB
- 3 partitions were created, ESP, root / with ext4 and a swap partition
- Don't use network mirrors
- Define root password and add a user
- Go through all the steps and reboot
- Use the pen again to configure extra EFI definitions inside the ESP partition
- Mount the ESP partition and inside the EFI folder create the BOOT folder
- copy all files inside the debian folder to the BOOT folder
- Go to the BOOT folder and copy the shimx64.efi to BOOTx64.efi
- Boot using the HDD disk
- If an error appears saying "/dev/sdX doesn't exist" with means grub didn't write the right HDD device name. It's required to acces grub options before boot and change the device name
- After a proper boot is made into the HDD we need to run the command update-grub to update the grub with the right device name
- To use WiFI we need the firmware-iwlwifi_20190114-2_all.deb to be installed, download it
- Install using dpkg -i firmware-iwlwifi_20190114-2_all.deb
- The WiFI device detected is wlp2s0
- ip a; iwconfig; ip link set wlp2s0 up; iwlist scan
- An conf file in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf is required
ap_scan=1
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
ssid="?????????"
scan_ssid=1
proto=RSN WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
group=CCMP TKIP
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
psk="???????"
}- Run command wpa_supplicant -B -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -i wlp2s0
- Update the file /etc/apt/sources.list and comment cdrom entry
