Re: debian 9 installation problem

2017-08-23 Thread Wouter Verhelst
Hi Matthew,

For these kinds of questions, please ask on the debian-user mailinglist.
The -boot list is meant for development of the installer, not for
support with the full installation images (which contain more than just
the installer). In contrast, the -user list is meant for user support.

Regards,

debian 9 installation problem

2017-08-23 Thread Matthew Bruton
Hi,
I am tring to install debian 9 using the offline DVDS, which is the most
convenient for me. The menu comes up but none of the options work. It
just pauses for a few seconds with none of the keys working and then
comes back to life.

When I go into the command prompt through the help menu (the only option
which works) and try to enter the options there, it says "invalide
argument", for each one I try.

I have a dell latitude laptop.

Please help!

Thanks,
God bless,
Matthew Bruton
