How do I do a net install from trisquel gnome cd/usb? So then I don't have to make another usb with netinstall installed on it. How can I install gnome shell after installing from net install?

I am reinstalling trisquel to start fresh cause I messed up something and the partition outside of home for the apps keeps on filling all the way up. I think it might have to do with using an unofficial libre linux kernel. But I am not sure. I tried cleaning cache with bleachbit still have issues. The log file is over flowing in var.

You mean a minimal Trisquel base installation and then Gnome on top of it?

You can install Gnome with two packages: gnome-shell & gnome-shell-extensions. Also install gdm.

http://packages.trisquel.info/belenos/gnome-shell-extensions

http://packages.trisquel.info/belenos/gdm

Start the installer in text mode. Choose not to install a graphical environment. After reboot install X.

apt-get install xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core xfonts-base xinit

http://packages.trisquel.info/belenos/xserver-xorg

http://packages.trisquel.info/belenos/xserver-xorg-core

http://packages.trisquel.info/belenos/xfonts-base

http://packages.trisquel.info/belenos/xinit

If you only need the very basic X11, install 'xorg' meta package.

Yes that's what I want. Thanks! That will install gnome tweak right and other gnome related apps?

You can always add anything that's missing that you think you'll need later. Look at the dependencies, I can't possibly remember what is included. Gnome-tweak-tool is a package you can install separately, the same goes for Firefox/Abrowser and other utilities. If you go barebones, you'll have a lean system from the get-go.

Also, do partitioning manually. I'd go for separate partitions for /root, /home and /swap, possibly /boot. Give /root enough room to accommodate your needs.

If you install the meta package 'trisquel', you'll get the classic Trisquel one panel flashback environment.

It will install lightdm as the login manager. You can switch between gdm and lightdm by typing 'dpkg-reconfigure gdm'.

/root basically is always empty on a system where 'sudo' is used (i.e., Trisquel's default). There is no /swap. There can be a swap partition though (or a swap file). More partitions may be useful (e.g., to have different filesystems) but, on a desktop system, it basically brings nothing but dimensioning problems (a partition is full while other are barely occupied).

No. Install the "gnome-core" package or even the "gnome" package. If you prefer Trisquel's choice of applications, you can install "gnome-shell" on top of the regular Trisquel edition.

What's in it? It's best to check so it can be fixed. Some bug can make logs swell several gigabytes.

I deleted the old log its 6 gigabytes. But I didn't delete the current one. Do you want that log? Its the kernel log.

What is interesting in that log is any repeated lines. What is filling it?
