I may try this. But, I can tether my phone on my Linux desktop already. What I needed was to do so via TTY so that I can download programs to set up window managers. I did a core/standard/server/minimal install (they call it too many things!!) and I have no WiFi to finish setting up my other new partiton.
If you’re able to tether your phone, why would you need this tutorial? I mean this tutorial is for those who have old school phone like a Nokia which doesn’t have inbuilt tethering option and needs external software to do so. If I am not mistaken.
Is there a way to load wvdial from a flash drive onto tty or from another Linux partition? I know how to use go back and forth between Linux that have desktops - on my SSD and my HDD to share files. But, programs....either difficult or impossible.
Not difficult, you can download package from the official website and will be able to install using dpkg package. www.ubuntubuzz.com/2015/09/how-to-offline-install-wvdial-in-ubuntu-linux-mint.html?m=1 May be this will help you.
@@TheNorDesign trying to tether using TTY because the Debian nonfree standard.iso I installed doens't have WiFi (I thought nonfree version would). But, it opens on tty which means i cann't install the window manager, xstart, xorg, nothing. I just moved my PC into the living room for a few hours so it could reach the ethernet cable. What a hassle. I must've missed where you said or wrote which type of phone or PC this video was for. Details are important.
@@genkiferal7178 yes, that was my mistake at that time, usually old school phones like Nokia and Symbian phones which doesn’t have in built tethering option, and only way to connect the phone with any system is either Bluetooth or cable. These days, every android and iPhone have inbuilt WiFi and cable tethering option. So technically if you have an android phone. You can connect the phone by cable and turn on the tethering from phone. Which will automatically provide Internet to your Linux system. I would suggest to use Ubuntu instead of core Debian. Ubuntu has all pre-tools installed. Also Ubuntu is Debian based OS, so you will be using intuitive UI of Debian in the name of Ubuntu.
