Exactly how did you copy the image onto the USB stick - what command did you use and did you wait until it had copied fully? Andy Cater Andy, I did wait till it was done indeed. I copied the image to the USB with: dd if=/home/luben/Downloads/debian-live-11.5.0-amd64-gnome.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=8M; sync I tried it without the: bs=8M; sync as well. Thanks,Luben
