Stuff like this happens more and more. Is the reason just because orgs are cutting costs? Or that volunteers are just too pressed for time? The expertise is there. It's just not being used. I share your frustration ... not in this particular case ... but I have my own stories. -Mark

I spent two hours trying to get Virtualbox to recognize either the optical drive or a USB drive where I had installed the Live Debian 12 ISO that I downloaded. I finally succeeded at getting the virtual machine to use the optical drive, although I failed with the USB drive. Once I finally got the Live OS to boot there was an 'Install Debian' icon, so I clicked on it. That popped up an error message that 'Calamares' (the install program) was not executable. There was a button to make it executable, so I clicked on it and things progressed. It finally got to the end of the questions and answers and presented a summary of what it was going to do in the install. I looked all over for a button that said 'OK' or 'Continue,' or anything to move on and let it install the OS, but there was no way to get past that point. C'mon Debian people, don't you test this stuff?
