Dear advanced users and developers,
Debian is making so big joy to Me that I want to install it to my USB
external SSD harddisk.
Unfortunately, Debian text Installer and even Camalares installer do not
cooperate with my UEFI firmware.
So Grub is being always installed automatically to my ATA connected SDA
harddisk.
Several Debian netinst and Debian text based Installer versions ago, I
could choose where Grub should be installed.
I have read The Debian wiky article and I know, that your team is doing
your best to support multiple operating systems booting and that there
are so many UEFI firmwares awaylable, which can behave abnormally.
Does somebody knows how to install Debian to The external USB device?
Using Debian on old magnetical harddisk is really slow work.
I Am using The following .iso image for installation.
I do not see at all so I Am using speech support and build in routines
in to text based installer which install Mate for Me fully automatically
including Orca login screen speech support.

debian-12.11.0-amd64-netinst.iso
Thank you very much for your help.
I suggest installing manually and partitioning manually.
Once installed, you will need to configure the Setup utility to boot the
USB drive before the internal drive whenever the USB drive is connected.
This is simplest if you always connect the drive to the same port. As
I am not aware of Setup utilities with text-to-voice capabilities, you
may need a sighted person to help you with this step.
