Take a netinst .iso file / CD1 / DVD1 - use dd to write this to a USB stick. Boot from it. Do an
expert install.
Debian 7.2 runs fine on UEFI, GPT partitioning works fine. You might want to try auto partitioning - there
needs to be a 1M space at beginning and end of he disk and a 510M partition marked for EFIboot.
All fairly straightforward.
