In case it's useful, my laptop is currently running Ubuntu - I'm wondering if it's possible to do some sort of chroot from Ubuntu into the USB stick, so that I can format the laptop's SSD and begin the install process that way? Surely that has been thought of before?
(That said, I ought ensure I can boot the USB stick, so that I can do a rescue install if needed for any fat finger reason...) I notice the package debian-installer-launcher - should I be able to use that, with the debian netinst image, and by using that, can I get a "clean" install i.e format the laptop's SSD?
