Instructions


In order to install and set up ggRock we would need to complete following steps:




Step 3: Create a Bootable Debian USB with Rufus


Now that you've launched Rufus and selected the Debian ISO, here’s what to do next:



🧭 1. Device


  • Make sure the correct USB drive is selected under Device (e.g., ggUSB (G:)).
  • ⚠️ Warning: All data on this USB drive will be erased.


📦 2. Boot Selection


  • The Debian ISO should already be loaded (e.g., debian-12.10.0-amd64-netinst.iso).
  • If not, click Select and browse to the ISO you downloaded earlier.


⚙️ 3. Partition Scheme & Target System


  • Partition scheme: MBR
  • Target system: BIOS or UEFI


✅ This setup works on most systems. If you're only targeting newer UEFI systems, you can also choose GPT + UEFI (non-CSM).


💾 4. Format Options


  • Volume label: Change it to something like Debian (optional but helpful).
  • File system: FAT32 (Default)
  • Cluster size: 4096 bytes (Default)


No need to touch the "Advanced format options" unless you know what you're doing.


🔥 5. Start the Process


  • Click the START button.


🧪 6. ISOHybrid Mode Prompt


  • Rufus may ask how to write the image:


  • Choose Write in ISO Image mode (Recommended) and click OK.



🧼 7. Confirmation Warning


  • You’ll see a final warning that all data on the USB drive will be destroyed.
  • Confirm and proceed.




⏳ Wait for It...


Rufus will now write the Debian installer to the USB stick. This usually takes a few minutes.


Once it says READY, you're good to go! 🎉



✅ What’s Next?


Now that you've got:


  • 📦 The Bootable Debian Installer


You're ready to Install Debian Linux.
