Debian Linux Installλ︎

Debian provides ISO images which can be burned onto USB memory sticks (or other removable media, e.g. compact disks).

The net install image is small and quick to download, containing only the essential packages to run an operating system.

Copy the Debian Linux ISO image to a USB of 1GB size or larger, using one of the following tools.

Create USB install disk using Caligula TUI

Run calibula with the burn command and the path to the downloaded Debian ISO image. Follow the prompts of the Caligular TUI.

Create USB install disk using the cp command
