Hello, Thank you for your kind response to my query. I did attempt to install from another Live image, but it hung while attempting to install dual-boot as I recall. The good news is, that installing 'firmware-testing-amd64-DVD-1.iso' from this page https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-dvd/ worked perfectly. I chose the Graphical Custom Install option, and was able to specify an unallocated partition on my SSD for Stretch, and the installer was smart enough to use the swap partition on another drive used by an earlier Jessie installation. Best regards, Larry
