I don't know what is going on. I can't get the Debian installation page to appear, no matter what I do.

For this mailing list, you are expected to reply only to the list address,
unless the person to whom you're replying explicitly requests personal
responses. (This is different from most other technical support mailing
lists in the world, where the expectation is "reply all".)

If you used Windows to put the ISO image onto the USB stick, it's
quite possible it wasn't done correctly.

if you need to write the Debian install image to a USB device from
Windows.
If you're doing it from a Unix/Linux system, then follow the
instructions at <http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ch04s03 >.
