    Hi Ernesto,

    Ernesto Alfonso <erjoalgo@gmail.com> (2023-05-13):
    I'm attempting to setup Debian on a Dell Inspiron All-in-One system,
    either as dual boot or replacing the existing windows 10 OS.

    The installer hangs after entering either the "graphical install", "install" or "live" options from the initial menu. I used the latest
    64-bit installer: debian-11.7.0-amd64-netinst.iso, burned onto a USB
    drive using the dd command:

    sudo dd if=/debian-11.7.0-amd64-netinst.iso of=/dev/sda


    A couple more options may help: it's sometimes possible that you've extracted the USB stick while files were still writing.

    sudo dd if=/debian-11.7.0-amd64-netinst.iso of=/dev/sda bs=1M oflag=dsync status=progress

    This forces a sync on each write to the usb so you don't lose data and also gives you a brief status output on the size written.


    Cheers,
