The step when to remove the installation media is meaningless with a 
usb key.
You could also keep the usb key plugged in and after reboot choose to 
boot on the device you installed Debian  on.


Note that it is not rong to unplug the usb key at that point.


In the past I have been known to try and time the unplugging with the 
exact time of the reboot.

Yep. Anytime after the message displays is good. The system reboots when
you press the continue button and you want it to reboot to your hard disk
not the installation disk. You did right.

That sounds about right, yes.

I think anytime after this message is shown and before the computer starts
booting after that is a good time.

Time of Removal of Installation media

Hi, I recently installed Debian Stretch and I was confused as if I
installed it correctly. At the end of the installation, I got to the point
where it said "Make sure to remove the installation media so you don't boot
into the installer". I removed the USB at that point and clicked continue
after which it did some small stuff and rebooted. Did I remove the USB at
the correct time or was I not supposed to remove it at that point? Thank
you :)
