I've been meaning to learn how to sha512sum after it is written to disk. 
Now I've got it. Here are my results:

on the older usb disk that worked, sha512sum matched

on the new faulty disk, after writing with dd, sha512sum did not match

on the same faulty disk, after writing with "Disk Image Writer" and I 
successfully installed trixie on a machine, I checked the usb disk and 
sha512sum did not match 🙁 I thought I was finished with that server. 
Now I need to decide if I will start over or just leave it and hope for 
the best. Considering it is a mini pc used as a headless print server to 
connect a little used usb only printer to my network, I think I will 
just place a note in /etc/motd like:

This copy of Debian was installed with a broken installer, expect anything!

Thanks
