So you have given me the iso file for a minimal installation of Debian v 7.0. (My laptop is 64 bit). I suppose that I can install this and lose the version I already have on the laptop, then add whatever programs I want. Is that right?On 15/06/13 12:37, Neil Winchurst wrote:I have a spare laptop for testing purposes. Until recently it was running Xubuntu 12.04. I have also previously used it with other distros, Mint for example. In all cases it found the wifi from the router without any problem, at installation. I am now testing Debian 7 Xfce on it. Mostly it works but, for some reason, it does not find the wifi. Same laptop, same router. I have been looking around the internet for possible answers, so far without success. I think the necessary firmware is installed BCM4318. The bc43 cutter is installed. This new version of Debian is just out and I quite expected it to find the wifi without any problem.

Are you saying that this version will find the wifi automatically for me? If so thanks, but I will have a lot of installing to do depending how minimal it is,
