I did attempt to install from another Live image, but it hung while attempting to install dual-boot as I recall. The good news is, that installing 'firmware-testing-amd64-DVD-1.iso' from this page https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-dvd/ worked perfectly. I chose the Graphical Custom Install option, and was able to specify an unallocated partition on my SSD for Stretch, and the installer was smart enough to use the swap partition on another drive used by an earlier Jessie installation. Best regards, Larry

No "probably"; not even a "possibly". https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/weekly-live-builds/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-testing-amd64-lxde.contents

That's OK, if you've got network access from the live system. (If you don't have network access, go copy a Debian install DVD to the SD card and boot from that.) Assuming your network is networking: sudo apt-get install debian-installer-launcher ... and after a bit, you should be able to start debian-installer-launcher from the menu. -dsr-

Unfortunately, I didn't find one. err...@free.fr wrote: > https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ch05s01.html.en#usb-boot I understand that Larry does not miss the desktop but rather the launcher. If so, the SD card with the live system has already booted successfully and thus the ISO was correctly copied to the SD card. If not a more knowledgeable subscriber answers here, i'd repeat my question at debian-live mailing list: https://lists.debian.org/debian-live/ Have a nice day :) Thomas

How to Install to HDD from LIVE USB Flash Drive?
I just burned Debian-live-testing-amd64-lxde.iso https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/weekly-live-builds/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-testing-amd64-lxde.iso from https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/weekly-live-builds/amd64/iso-hybrid/ to a 16GB SD card, and was hoping to be able to install it on a partition on the m.2 SSD next to dual-boot Win10. I read on one of the Debian.com pages https://www.debian.org/CD/live/index.en.html , that there's supposed to be a "launcher on the desktop that can be used to install while running the live image." Unfortunately, I didn't find one. I Googled, but was unable to find any information on how to install from the live system. Is anyone able to offer a pointer to the method of installing to HDD from the live USB image? ADVthanksANCE
