I just downloaded debian-live-9.0.0-xfce.iso . After checking the md5 sum I then burned the iso to a usb stick using dd. I can't get it to boot.
However, the problem may well be with my motherboard. I have a gigabyte GA-H81M-H motherboard that supposedly supports both UEFI and legacy booting (it has roms for both). In the BIOS I select UEFI and Legacy boot and then select UEFI First. No GO! If I select UEFI Only then I can get it to boot.
The issue is this: If I boot in UEFI Only and then install to a hard drive, am I going to be able to do a Legacy install or only UEFI install. If only UEFI then I am better off not installing 9.0 from the usb stick.
I currently have Jessie on a SSD (legacy boot with grub on the Jessie drive) and intend to keep it that way. The plan was to install Stretch to a second drive. Maybe better to install, or clone, Jessie to the second drive and then upgrade to Stretch.
Suggestions, critiques, are welcome.

Re: Debian 9 live iso
To point out first, it seems the Live image of Stretch is not for installation purposes, as others here have already discovered.

Re: Debian 9 live iso
Okay, that's cool. But I wonder why it won't boot. Must be the funky bios on my Gigabyte motherboard. Thanks for that feedback. I had not seen posts regarding live iso not for installation.phenest wrote:To point out first, it seems the Live image of Stretch is not for installation purposes, as others here have already discovered.
Guess I will go with plan B.
