Hi,
The boot problem has been solved. The computer has in addition to the
bios boot order/device setting accessed by F10 another boot menu
accessed by F9 that allows selection of a device to actually, like now,
boot from.

This is a different thread from that one. The problem now is during the
install at the selection for loading the base system it presents a
Debootstrap error; Failed to determine the codename for the release.

Best regards,
Fred
