Paraphrasing someone "To laugh or to cry, that is the question". ;} About 15 years ago I was asked to tutor a young man who should have been in high school. I knew that he was clinically ADHD. After only a few weeks I thought I was "looking in a mirror". Referral to a psychologist resulted in receiving a tentative diagnosis of being ADHD myself (didn't meet all criteria due to age). I do hyper-focus and can be easily distracted. A primary deficiency of Debian documentation is lack of indexes [despite having file titles of form index.html ]. [q.v. https://differencesfinder.com/index-vs-table-of-contents-key-differences-explained/ ] As to the referenced "SUCCESSFUL INSTALL": 1. that specific install used only installer defaults. 2. that machine, with no valuable data, was for experiments. My current goal to multi-boot my primary machine without clobbering existing valuable data (even if that data has been backed-up). *A* current question is how to install a "dual-boot" or "multi-boot" system. Debian users make a strong distinction between the two. Though trying to be exhaustive, "Debian GNU/Linux Installation Guide" suffers from lack of an index. "The beginner’s handbook", though having some organizational advantages and a large number of installer screen images, is aimed at very raw newbies. It has minimal coverage of "dual-boot". I don't have the programming expertise to contribute that way. I'll continue creating a TOC for the type of document I'd like to see. More later.
