If you have an automounter, then you should just determine where it got mounted, and use that mountpoint name instead. It might be automounted under /media. Cheers, David.

I guess you could install a base system from the "DVD-1" stick and then put the mount point addresses of the two other "DVD" images into /etc/apt/sources.list of the installed system before you install more packages. But that's Debian sysadmin work which others can explain better. (I see that Timothy M Butterworth proposes a similar approach in https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2023/04/msg00464.html "Can't you install software from the online repos?" I.e. you ignore DVD-2 and 3 and rather use Debian's normal way of installing additional packages from the internet repositories by help of "apt" or "apt-get". The matching entry in sources.list gets created by the installation from DVD-1. Better ask your teacher first, whether this method is ok.) - Alternative approaches: Possibility 2 would be the one which Pete Batard, the author of Rufus, defends with great emphasis every time that it gets broken by distro ISOs. Recently in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1031696 he wrote "In short, the expectation of many UEFI users -- [...] -- is that they should be able to [format] a USB media to FAT32 and then extract the full content from the Debian ISO there, to end up with a media that they can use to both boot and install Debian." I would bet that this works for multiple ISOs, too. When trying i would first unpack DVD-2 and DVD-3 to the freshly formatted FAT32 on the USB stick and only then DVD-1. So if any files are on DVD-1 and another DVD image, then the ones from DVD-1 would survive. - A third possibility would be to ask the teacher for permission to use debian-10.4.0-amd64-STICK16GB-1.iso which you can get from https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/10.4.0/amd64/jigdo-16G/debian-10.4.0-amd64-STICK16GB-1.jigdo and is supposed to contain what DVD-1 to 3 contain plus some more. You'd need the program "jigdo-lite" which is available as MS-Windows version from Steve McIntyre, a main Debian Developer of the installation ISO images at https://www.einval.com/~steve/software/jigdo/download/jigdo-win-0.8.1.zip See also the "Downloads" paragraph on https://www.einval.com/~steve/software/jigdo/ Instructions how to use it are at "4.2" and "4.3" of https://tldp.org/HOWTO/Debian-Jigdo/downloadingyourfirstimage.html Possibility 3 1/2 would be to follow https://wiki.debian.org/JigdoOnLive which explains how to use a Debian Live system (from USB stick) to download the ISO by help of Debian's package "jigdo-file". This wiki age also gives a more recent example on how to use program jigdo-lite. See https://wiki.debian.org/JigdoOnLive#Install_package_jigdo-file I assume that this example works with the MS-Windows binary too. - Possibility 4 would be to merge the three DVD images into one. See https://wiki.debian.org/MergeDebianIsos This needs a Unix-like shell environment (CygWin ?) and program xorriso, of which .exe binaries exist in the web. The resulting ISO will not have a Joliet tree and thus MS-Windows will show only its dull ISO 9660 names when you inspect the result. This will not hamper installation by Debian because as a GNU/Linux it will perceive the Rock Ridge names which are even better than Joliet. (The script "merge_debian_isos" can be modified to add Joliet.) Have a nice day :) Thomas
