Package: Netinstaller Wheezy stable Version: stable version, 10/15/13 Hello, I tried again to install Debian to a usb disk of 32 Gb through a laptop (Acer Travelmate P253-E) from another usb with the net installation iso provided at the main page of Debian project, the one in the top right corner. This time with the new stable version. All went perfectly well at 64 bits, except that it didn't prompt where to put grub, and I thought it had gone to the internal hard disk and corrupted the other grub there and that I would have to perform a boot repair with the tool of the same name. Before rebooting, I went back to main intaller menu and selected grub installation phase so to force grub to be installed on sdb (the usb drive) and not on sda (internal disk). There was no dialogue to answer "no" and select a different place for grub, it just installed it again... aparently on sda (the light of the hdd was on at the front of the laptop). Then I finished and rebooted expecting the worse... but the laptop was ok! The grub inside had not been overwritten by the Debian installer. Everything was as before. Then, hoppefuly, I tried to boot to Debian on the usb disk through selecting it at the bios prompt of boot selector: nothing. There was nothing to boot to. So, again, it seemed that there was no grub to be found. It dit not go to the installation source usb drive either because it booted again perfectly to install again another system. So there is no way I can have a Debian system, nor testing or stable, installed in or through my laptop. I hope this is useful to the project. David
