What worries me about this thread is that the OP (who doesn't seem to know how the various parts of the d-i are meant to work together) has just last week posted a recipe claiming to install Debian using only vmlinuz and initrd¹, and a method of copying a Windows installation .iso image to a USB stick involving "rm"ing something, though never specifying exactly what is removed. I also have no idea what "destroy kvm prepend nothing happens" means². ¹ https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2019/05/msg00032.html ² https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2019/05/msg00103.html Cheers, David.
