Gaffer Tape, yes (your signature)! What do you mean by CSM
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSM)? I don't know the system longer than a few
days, but I've tried everything the BIOS/UEFI setup offers for booting, and if
memory serves I have started the first install from USB via `Legacy' boot.
Interestingly i can boot the USB-stick with the jigdone
debian-10.9.0-amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso any time. I cannot boot the (other)
USB-stick with (umph) https-downloaded debian-live-10.9.0-amd64-xfce.iso, the
Dell says depending on used boot options either `no bootable media found' or
similar -- or it says `isolinux.bin missing or corrupt'. My workinglap HP
Elitebook says the same about the latter USB-stick. And I have seen some
debian bug-reports about similar problems with ISO-images on USB-sticks...
Solution available?
Maybe a younger or an older Release?
Brgds, e.
