Ah, yes. Windows had such a switcher addin about 20 years ago. In the case of LWDE, I could see there were multiple windows represented in the status bar at the bottom. I tried switching around but the Debian Installer had really gone away... never to return. I tried Alt+F4 because someone suggested that as a way to see the GRUB installers error. If you have a suggestion, I'll try it. Should I try the Debian Installer again and, when the GRUB installer errors out, hit Ctl+Alt+F4?
