Marco, I thank you for the link.

I never had used BitTorrent, but I found and installed "biglybt" and
soon had the iso image.  I lost several hours messing around with
getting the iso image onto a USB stick.  And about five minutes ago,
my old Celeron booted into Debian 12.

I plan to use the machine either for "pi-hole" or for my weather
station running "weewx".

Again, thanks.
