An unofficial Debian Installer for Pinebook Pro
(02-12-2020, 03:58 AM)dumetrulo Wrote: I have started playing around with this installer, and set up a minimal Bullseye (no tasks) on an SD card.

How do I go about configuring WiFi on this minimal setup so I can start adding components?

Also I noticed that the minimal setup is missing basic things like a shutdown or poweroff command, how can I add these at the time of installation?

Even if you don't select any tasks you should end up with wpasupplicant and network-manager packages already installed. In my installation all I needed to do was run 
Code:
nmcli device wifi connect <SSID> password <password>
to connect to my WiFi network. Run that command with 'sudo' if you want your connection to be system-wide and activated on system start-up as opposed to on user login. It may not get activated automatically anyway, possibly because there may be some extra packages needed - in my experience it didn't get activated automatically on first reboot, but it did get activated automatically on second reboot. If it doesn't get activated automatically after reboot - just run the same command again.
