I've just installed Debian 6.0.4 on VirtualBox, and I'm trying to install g++. So, into the terminal I typed:  aptitude install build-essential   But it's trying to get the package from disk:  Media Change: Please insert the disc labeled 'Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.4 _Squeeze_ - Official i386 CD Binary-1 20120128-12:53' in the drive '/media/cdrom/' and press [Enter].   Why isn't it just downloading it from Debian's repositories? Can I change this behavior?

I have an install of Ubuntu server, I was recently fooling around with it, and as all learning processes do, I messed a few things up.   I would this box to be secure and reliable in the future, So I have decided to do a clean install of the system. Is there a way I can do it over the network (PCs and a router) without having to connect a monitor, and burning the cd?  Basically a network install after I completely remove the previous copy of Ubuntu 10.04?  Thoughts? Please and thank you.

I want to see the contents of a debian package, especially if the package is properly cleaning up whatever it installs.  I want to also see how it goes about installing the software, what directories it creates, symbolic links etc.

I burned a live iso image of debian 9 gnome i386 and booted it from my usb.   Everything worked perfectly, but it was not finding any local wifi.    After reading that the free version was missing the necessary firmware, I burned the debian 9 gnome i386 with non-free firmware and booted from my usb.  This time my wifi was found, but when I entered my password it tried to connect for a few seconds and then disconnected.  I'm not sure what to do from here.  There is no problem with the network or password, as I was able to login and use the internet from the PC I am using now.  Any help is greatly appreciated!
