    This is taking a while. It's using the network install so has probably got the hump because I didn't connect the ethernet cable. Try again...

    This thread is turning into an Andy Weir novel.
    Except you have better jokes.

      Grr, flaky bios wasn't recognising my external GPU HDMI port despite not having a CPU that does internal graphics. Had to connect the other DVI monitor. What a pile of poo.

      Anyway...

            I've enabled legacy boot (which seems to allow the mobo to pick up the GPU better) and the UEFI bootloader screen is migrating to the right... This isn't working.

            Maybe it's the 2.5 gig NIC?

                Debian network install took its time but found the interface. Now installing. In future I need to find one of my USB SSDs, this 3.7 GB USB stick is Grimsky Korsakoff.

                    I'm wondering if I can put my windows 10 NVMe drive in there and dual boot, because the keyboard and mouse swapper is a dud. I'm thinking it'll get the hump because it's a different motherboard.

                    I could use the old one as a Linux file server, home assistant etc. But it might be slightly over-specced for the latter given I've got a couple of RPi 4s hanging about, one of which could do the job. Might be useful as a code repository for my world domination plan though.

                      Obviously the UEFI Windows secure boot yada yada disk didn't work on the new PC. Decided to put it back in the old PC because sound wasn't working in Debian.

                      Didn't work in Windows either. Turns out the cable was unplugged with all my rooting round behind the PCs. 🫩
