Doing:

/media/richard/rco
file:////media/cdrom0/debian/
generates no error messages.
HOWEVER, very few files are actually written to the flash drive
at /media/richard/rco and a subsequent run of
"debootstrap --second-stage"
yields a file not found message.
I have some ideas about my problems and will have time this weekend.
I just ran a couple of quick tests of what should be a more typical case
with no different results.
QUESTION:
Has anyone personally used debootstrap to install to a flash drive?
My environment is:
OS is i386 Debian stable
DVD is DVD-1 of Debian 9.1.0
Flash drive has a:
4 GB ext2 partition
4 GB swap partition
TIA
