 Yes.

The 'no bootable device' came with an attempted boot from the hard disk (actually an SSD).  I have disabled secure boot.  I do not have the laptop with me so I will check that when I get back to it.

I am using Rufus.  I do have a stretch installation on a desktop. But I have not attempted to build an installation disk from there.  But I am very will to try that.  Some details on links would be great.

When the page presents a yes/no selection for providing media with the drivers, I select either yes or no, the screen blanks for a moment and then returns - the same screen.  So it seems to have completed some process but has without seeing the 'next' button, I can not progress.  

I can not see these, I believe, due to the high display resolution handling.  When the installation method selection screen pops up, everything is 'normally' sized.  As soon as I select either GUI or text, everything becomes very small and spread across the screen.  Is there a way I can control this?
