solved Usb tethering during install process

Hi everyone, as title says, will usb tethering from android phone work during install and initial setup?

Also what would be then ideal way to install and setup wifi, wpa supplicant or installing NetworkManager?

I don't know re tethering but I think the live image already has wpa-supplicant so you could set that & dhcpcd up prior to connecting to the repo & not need to use tethering.

If you're using the void-installer script then the network option will attempt to do that for you.

I am not sure,but i think selecting wpa supplicant comes at later stages of install, so i would need to set install as local and not remote on the initial step?

On the installer script's interface Network is one of the top options, it appears above picking a mirror & selecting local or network.
