Hi. I'm trying to install Debian 10.8 on a USB stick, and it is not Debian Live, from a hard disk that has Windows 7 installed. Since I don't have any CD or DVD, and I need the USB stick to install Debian on it, I can't use the USB stick to put the ISO image on it.
I have downloaded the first ISO DVD image, hd-media/vmlinuz and hd-media/initrd.gz. As I understand, the standalone win32-loader downloads its own Debian image, so I supposed I needed the setup.exe from the ISO image. I put debian-10.8.0-i386-DVD-1.iso, g2ldr, g2ldr.mbr (these two from the ISO), initrd.gz, setup.exe, vmlinuz and win32-loader.ini on the root of C: I modified win32-loader.ini from: [installer] kernel=linux arch=i386 i386/linux=install.386/vmlinuz i386/initrd=install.386/initrd.gz i386/gtk/linux=install.386/vmlinuz i386/gtk/initrd=install.386/gtk/initrd.gz [grub] g2ldr=g2ldr g2ldr.mbr=g2ldr.mbr to: [installer] kernel=linux arch=i386 i386/linux=vmlinuz i386/initrd=initrd.gz [grub] g2ldr=g2ldr g2ldr.mbr=g2ldr.mbr The problem is that I don't know if modifying win32-loader.ini that way I can make debian-installer boot from the files on C: instead from a CD or a DVD or an USB stick; nor I know if GRUB2 will load successfully itself and linux and the RAM disk. Please, could you help me? Thanks in advance.
