Package: installation-report Severity: wishlist Hello, The current process for creating an Debian installer USB stick is the following: 1. get boot.img.gz; 2. zcat it to the USB stick, 3. optional: 3.1. try to boot that, 3.2. fail, 3.3. read the installation manual; 4. get a proper CD image; 5. mount the USB stick; 6. put the CD image to the stick; 7. umount. As a point of comparison, here is the corresponding process for creating a Debian installer CD: 1. get the CD image; 2. burn it to the blank CD. So, right now, creating a CD is simple and intuitive – for someone that knows what an ISO image is –, and creating an USB stick is not. An beginner that already knows practical computing basics would be able to create a CD, not a USB stick. Even an already advanced user would have problems for creating an USB stick, as it is not obvious that he has to refer to the documentation for such a task. I suggest to create complete default USB stick images, bundling the CD image in them. That would allow a new, simpler and intuitive creation process for users: 1. get hd-media.img.gz; 2. zcat it to the USB stick. For people using alien systems, there would also be an interrest in non-compressed images, writeable with tools such as Win32DiskImager [1].

If you know, that the issue you reported (and gets closed here) is still existing in recent installation images, please file a new report for that! round 6 (for Debian 6 / 7 / 8 ): https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=728238 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=744201 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=749672 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=755686 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=758167 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=766398 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=773711 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=783263 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=801273 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=820463 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=831999 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=845110 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=862500 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=876866 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=891113 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=895112 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=946319 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=958835 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=684777 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=485902 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=379972 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=528604 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=570995 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=600621 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=620012 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=628091 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=636483 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=672458 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=681388 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=705450 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=706489 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=770012 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=771190 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=742101 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=774980 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=780172 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=783066 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=842626 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=881386 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=885883 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=919606 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=968086 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=850902 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=855074 -- Holger Wansing <hwansing@mailbox.org> PGP-Fingerprint: 496A C6E8 1442 4B34 8508 3529 59F1 87CA 156E B076
