Greetings
I have been trying to install Debian 11 on an Asus from 2018 with i5
using amd64 install DVD's with 11.1.0 and 11.2.0 and a net install CD
with 11.2.0 . All three have fallen over because of installer bugs.
There is currently a Debian 9 system on the laptop that went on
without difficulty.
Am trying to install it to an external hard disk so it can be tested and
debugged without much damage to the running Debian 9 system.
The Debian 11.2.0 net install CD is the unofficial one with non free
firmware. Good to have all the drivers in one go.
It comes straight off the Debian website, is unmodified and is on a CD.
Where/how do I get one that works please ?
An alternate plan is to install from a Debian 10 net inst CD, non free,
amd64. This one went on to another machine without difficulty . Then
wait and see whether the Debian 12 installer is any better.
Thanks.

What is the model of the Asus computer? What model CPU? How much RAM?
What is the make, model, and size of the external disk? What is the
connection between the computer and the external disk? Are you certain
that the computer port (USB?) is good, the cable is good, the external
disk is good, and the external disk power adapter is good? What are the
source URL's and the file names of the Debian Installer images that you
downloaded? Did you verify the checksum of the images? Did you verify
the burned DVD's against the downloaded images? What are the steps
required to reproduce the installer bugs?
