Installing Trixie netinst iso on ASUS motherboard - solution
I have a new ASUS motherboard with a Ryzen 7 processor and downloaded
the Trixie netinst iso
I assumed simple dd of the iso to a USB drive would work. I was wrong.
The problem is the ASUS BIOS expects a FAT-32 formatted install from a
USB drive. dd of an iso does not produce the correct format.
After a great deal of experimentation, including linux tools such as
Balena Etcher and Ventoy, I had to go to Windows to write the media.
The solution is rufus on windows that was able to format the target
drive correctly and then copy all the files from the iso image. The ASUS
BIOS recognised this and I was able to do the netinst install.
There may be some linux way of doing this but I haven't found it yet.
