What if anything special like disabling Secureboot did you do to
facilitate this painless install?
I'm buying a new notebook as a replacement for this aging desktop (8
years old, Wheezy 64-bit) in the next few months and plan to install
Stretch on it once it's Stable or a late testing beta. Haven't
decided which make of notebook yet, but Asus is one of the brands I've
been considering. Lenovo, Dell, Acer are some others. So, any details
of your install you can share will be appreciated.
Thanks
