Sounds like what I virtually always do, install from network, beginning with fetching <http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stretch/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz> and <http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stretch/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/amd64/linux> and placing them where Grub can find and load them. Nothing gets downloaded that isn't needed. No need for any iso file. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!
