A Debian installation (which, presumably, appeared to be successful), or a Debian installer? If the latter, which one, the netinst installer or a live CD (which has its own less flexible installer)?

The current one, 12.x (bookworm), or something else? > So, either of 2 things might help me: > > (1) The complete key sequence at the BIOS screen (or its <F1> > help screen) to tell the mobo to boot from the USB stick first. For that, you will have to get help from the firmware vendor or Gigabyte. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
