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

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.

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.

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

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?
