I can successfully write Ubuntu 26.04 lts.
But no matter what I try (win: Rufus (iso/dd), balena etcher, usbimager,
win32diskimager, ventoy); (nix: cp, dd, disk) and look at them once
finish (win: diskmgmt, disc genius) and (nix: gparted) the data is
always a no show when i comes to properly formatted and finished media.
So I face a lot of issues when I go to install using boot-media; but I
got it to go through one.
Usually I just get the Debian-installer going and 'go back' and select
an option that goes something like 'verify integrity of install media.'
I've never made it by this verify this time around. seeing as how I've
never needed to run this test it's new to me.
Also I've tried new USB media. All media tried is 32GB.
Also I checked the CRC. That was good.
Thank you for any help / explanation.
