I'm sorry, I sent the email without thinking. Can you tell me where should
I ask such question?

Hi!

I have a very small storage size for my laptop (64gb). So, I installed

debian

minimal in it. But I am encountering a pretty big problem. If I use my

wifi

network while installing it, later I can't manage my network with
network-manager anymore. I tried removing the interface from /etc/network/
interfaces as nm(network-manager) says it wouldn't manage interfaces that

are

on that list. But even if I do that it doesn't work at all, later if I try
running nmcli device status it says that my wifi interface (wlp2s0) is
unavailable.
But if I use a Ethernet connection while installing the debian minimal, I

don't

encounter such problems at all. I guess it's because if I use Ethernet
connection to download network-manager, the network-manager doesn't seee

my

wifi interface on that list thus it manages that interface. My question

is why

does this happen? How can I prevent it? Like you know why can't I manage

my

wifi interface with network-manager even though I removed it from the

/etc/

network/interfaces list?

You've sent mail to the Debian Community Team; our role is to try and
help people and to make the Debian project a welcoming environment.
That doesn't include providing user support for Debian installations,
I'm afraid. You'd be better asking on the debian-user mailing list.

debian-***@lists.debian.org is the right place for your questions.
Not ***@debian.org.

Thank you

I have a very small storage size for my laptop (64gb). So, I installed
debian minimal in it.

If you can, reinstalls Debian as usual, my KDE's installation takes
about 10GB:

~$ LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 df /
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/ld0-lv2 ext4 28G 9.6G 17G 37% /

Therefore if you don't have space need for the /home/ directory it
should be fine for you.

There is no need to reinstall Debian to add KDE, or any other
desktop environment, or to switch from one to another.
