Traditional Computer

In order to install Debian Linux, we need to boot into our newly created Ventoy flash drive.  Due to a lack of standardization, different hardware will go about this differently. 

Most commonly, the boot device can be selected by hitting a specific key while the computer is starting up. This can be the Delete, Escape, F1, F7, F11 or F12 key.  Refer to your computer's manual if you are unsure.

Some media keyboards require that you press an FN key located along the bottom row in order to activate the function keys.

Hardwire the computer to your router using a cat6e cable.
