hi,

your question is better placed in the debian users mailing list (I added
it to the CC). Debian-project is more for project coordination stuff.

Please be so kind to remove debian-project from the CC when replying here.

Myself, I have no experience with rufus (I don't use Windows at all), but
there might be people around here who do.

You might need to provide some more details to help them help you.

- Which setup is giving you errors? That of rufus, or that of Debian?
- What kind of errors? What does the error message say?
- I, for one don't understand what you mean "create a partition and
 installing to your ssd" (that hints at the Debian install process,
 but then): "and the same for the pendrive" (now probably rufus?)
- which directives are unclear?

Things like that :)

Cheers

No, I think it was pretty clear: my mail was sent CC to the debian user's
mailing list (your mail program dropped it, it seems: I re-added it, since
the more people read your request the better the chances you get some useful
help).

Here it is again: <debian-user@lists.debian.org>

You mention "the support one": this doesn't exist, you sent it to
<debian-project@lists.debian.org>, which is there to coordinate the
project. Of course, nothing bad happens when you mail there. You just
get redirected to the appropriate one, which is what I'm trying to do.

There is a whole installation guide here:

  https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/amd64/

That said, it is big and daunting, and that's what the mailing list is for.

Yes, I understand that. Still it is too little for anyone to help you.
Please try to explain exactly what you tried and at which step you think
the process failed and how (error messages would be super-helpful).

Cheers
