As far as Debian amd64 ISOs are concerned, all first volumes of a media set have the boot equipment for booting via BIOS and EFI from optical medium and USB stick. So the usual ways of plainly copying the image to the base device of the USB stick will work: cp, dd, Rufus, xorriso-dd-target, ... Some of them impose the risk to shoot the own foot. In contrast, one can hardly overwrite the system disk while burning an optical medium. The biggest available Debian 12.5 amd64 ISO is "DLBD-1" with about 50 GB: https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/jigdo-dlbd/debian-12.5.0-amd64-DLBD-1.jigdo https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/jigdo-dlbd/debian-12.5.0-amd64-DLBD-1.template It is possible to merge it with DLBD-2 to get an All-in-one ISO. Have a nice day :) Thomas
