Hi. An Image ISO claimed on official Debian page to be an "hybrid" ISO, with those properties

$ file -b debian-9.7.0-amd64-DVD-3.iso
ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'Debian 9.7.0 amd64 3'

and which has been written to an external flash drive relying on that command

$ dd if=debian-9.7.0-amd64-DVD-3.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=4M oflag=direct && sync

could not even be launched at boot due to error message:
Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key.

while a Live ISO image debian-live-9.7.0-amd64-gnome.iso  with those properties could

$ file -b debian-live-9.7.0-amd64-gnome.iso
DOS/MBR boot sector; partition 2 : ID=0xef, start-CHS (0x3ff,254,63), end-CHS (0x3ff,254,63), startsector 1416, 832 sectors

I'm closing this bug. There is text *directly* on the page you're
using which says:

"""
There are lots of files here! Do I need all of them?

In most cases it is not necessary to download and use all of these
images to be able to install Debian on your computer. Debian comes
with a massive set of software packages, hence why it takes so many
disks for a complete set. Most typical users only need a small subset
of those software packages.

Initially, you will only need to download and use the first image of a
set (labelled as debian-something-1 to be able to start the Debian
installer and set up Debian on your computer. If there are more images
available here (labelled debian-something-2, debian-something-3,
etc.), they contain the extra packages that can be installed on a
Debian system (as mentioned previously). They will not be bootable and
are entirely optional. If you have a fast Internet connection, you're
most likely better off installing any desired extra packages directly
from the Debian mirrors on the Internet instead of by using these
extra images.
