Any Installation Guide available for installing the OS using Rufus from . the ISO file?

It is some years since I installed the Buster release of this OS distribution.

I don't recall it being any different to any other Debian-based OS installation.

I suggest referring to Debian GNU/Linux Installation Guide - https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/i386/

I haven't checked, but I suspect that will not make reference to specific tools such as Rufus.


Other than that I have nothing to add.
I downloaded the file from your links as per your recommendation. Unfortunately, it corrupted my BIOS since I did not use Rufus to make the bootable USB on my second attempt but went ahead by copying and pasting the folders from the mounted. ISO file then started to boot from the USB on my laptop! I did try to make a bootable USB on my first attempt, but Rufus failed to do so and corrupted my USB stick. I somehow repaired the USB stick and copied the mounted ISO folders. Then I tried to boot from the USB stick having the copied folders on it. This perhaps corrupted my laptop BIOS and it stopped working, though the power supply is working on the laptop, loading the BIOS has stopped completely!! So I think there was some type of malware present in the downloadable, ISO file that you provided to me! I will get my laptop repaired but shall not use that .ISO file again, because it corrupted my BIOS, before my laptop could even complete the boot process!
Are you sure it's not you?
