To follow-up on this, the mini.iso also creates a partition labeled "Firmware" on the device. As one might guess, it can be used to store firmware to be used by the installer. In case the GPT partition table created by the mini.iso is kept[1] it will have a funny ISO signature that fdisk will offer to delete (at least in bullseye). [1] It didn't occur to me at first that I can delete the entire partition table if I select the device at the installer's manual partitioning stage. It's faster than deleting partitions one by one ;) Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser
