The system will not recognise the usb stich used for the installation. Fiddling will will not get the stick recognised. This horrible hack works. modifying /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00CDMountPoint to read Acquire::cdrom { mount "/media/usb"; } Dir::Media::MountPath "/media/usb"; "usb" was originally "cdrom". /etc/apt/sources.list reads (comments removed). #. # deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux jessie-DI-b2 _Jessie_ - Official Snapshot amd64 DVD Binary-1 20141003-18:34]/ jessie contrib main deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux jessie-DI-b2 _Jessie_ - Official Snapshot amd64 DVD Binary-1 20141003-18:34]/ jessie contrib main deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib Related problem. apt-cdrom add will not detect a usb stick Do we need an apt-usb? The test installation was done with this machine, but on a different HDD.
