Debian - step-by-step own installation guide
1) install debian from netinst
=> on laptop, mount /home in 2nd partition without formating to keep existing data
2) on reboot, do not choose any installation package (desktop and co), we will install our own packages later on=> leave selection boxes blank and click on ok
3) once logged, will upgrade to testing version
3.1) edit /etc/apt/sources.list: "su" then "vi /etc/apt/sources.list"
and add the following entries at the top of the file:
deb ftp://ftp2.fr.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp2.fr.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
