Debian 7 install step by step

Stage 1 - Let's Go!

Stage 2 - Partitions

In the example below we create 3 partitions on the disk:

• sda1 is a small partition mounted as boot ( unencrypted boot media is required if root is encrypted)
• sda2 is an encrypted partition with random key configured as swap
• sda3 uses the remaining space as an encrypted partition with passphrase mounted as root

Stage 3 - Install packages and finish up

Select only [*] Standard system utilities if you want to start with a lightweight minimal foundation (no desktop) to build your own custom Debian configuration.

If you created the encrypted root partition in Stage 2 a prompt will appear for the encrypted passphrase.

Ready to go exploring!
