Hello Rick,

RS> So I have been having trouble getting debian to install to a new intel
RS> nuc. It appears to be a problem with nic driver but also has some
RS> problem with the onboard intel GPU.  My question is ( not a complete
RS> noob, but noobish) can I create a custom debian install iso with the
RS> drivers my system requires baked in?  Its the only way around this I
RS> see.. Just as a note unbuntu installs without incident.

I wonder why it works on ubuntu but not debian? A different kernel perhaps. I
generally prefer debian over ubuntu but the stable branch of debian can be
behind somewhat.. maybe debian testing or sid would work better for you. I
haven't played much with debian recently but in the past I usually ran testing.

For a server setup I rather like ubuntu also, so if you find that works for
what you are doing that might be the way to go.

Ttyl :-),
