Hello Debian CD team

I am not sure if this is the correct channel for such a request, but if not, I 
am hoping you can point me in the right direction.

I am writing about the page "https://www.debian.org/CD/live/#choose_live";. I 
just want to say that I found it less-than-obvious how to start the Calamares 
Installer. This is despite having watched a Youtube video beforehand going 
through the normal installer, and being very clear that I did not want to do 
that, as I read the linked page and went though the installation process. The 
issue was that at no point did I see that Calamares is an executable program, 
launched from the live session. I tried the normal "install from a USB media" 
approach, which put me through the normal installer. I expected to be presented 
with an option to chose installer in the start of the process, but when it was 
clear this was not going to happen, I had come far enough to just push through.

I also think the fix is rather simple. On the linked page, I would change the 
following statement:
Installer: The live images contain the end-user-friendly Calamares 
Installer<https://calamares.io>, a distribution-independent installer 
framework, as alternative to our well known 
Debian-Installer<https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer>.

To this:
Installer: The live images contains the Calamares 
Installer<https://calamares.io> as an alternative to our well known 
Debian-Installer<https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer>. Calamares is 
an end-user friendly and distribution-independent installer framework, 
available as an executable program in the live-session.

Regards,
Dennis Hoelgaard Bal
