Thanks for the reply.

F8 works.

I placed a Debian12.iso in the CD/DVD dirve. Here are the results:

CD-ROM Device dfriver for IDE (Four Channels Supported)
(c) Copyright .  .  .
Driver Version:     : V340
Device Name:        : BANANA
No drives found, aborting installation

Device driver not found:  'BANANA'
No valid CDROM device dfrivers selected

Now I'mm really getting into unknown territory.
