What worries me about this thread is that the OP (who doesn't seem to
know how the various parts of the d-i are meant to work together) has
just last week posted a recipe claiming to install Debian using only
vmlinuz and initrd¹, and a method of copying a Windows installation
.iso image to a USB stick involving "rm"ing something, though never
specifying exactly what is removed. I also have no idea what
"destroy kvm prepend nothing happens" means².
