Hello!


Today I downloaded the latest release of Debian, the 9.1 i386 XFCE Live. I downloaded as a torrent by the earlier Debian 9.0.1 x64 XFCE. I experienced (sorry my poor english!) that the LibreOffice Writer couldn"t start and the system can give only 1GB free space (!). I don"t like the mount other volumes or external USB tools when I use a live unsafe system because the safety, but for 1GB free space is good for nothing, sorry!

Later I found an harmful "thing" on the machine, the system automatically logged out and asked my login names and passwords many times and not only in the Debian the problem was same in other linux too.Maybe this harmful "thing" caused the overmentioned problems (LibreOffice and fev free space), but I don"t think. I don"t know yet that my machine when infected, but maybe when I downloaded the new release?
I knowing that the torrent client is checking the hash of the downloaded files, but I think this is not hundred percent :-)

Now, I would like to thank"s your work! Greatings from Hungary!

It sounds like a USB with bad/infected firmware or one of those things
that are not USB sticks at all.  But, if I do understand correctly,
you are trying to install from a live image into the left over USB stick?
Did you take a loot with a partitioning tool what the disk looks like?
How big was it originally, and was the rest of the free space
partitioned properly?  

The next thing that people have said here 1000 times (in the archives
of the list you can search live and installer) is not to use the the installer
from withing the live image.  Use the graphical installer without booting
live.  The live-installer is and has been crap for a long time.

I don't understand what libreoffice has to do with anything, please try
again.  It makes no sense, to me anyway.
