I intended to install Debian in partition nvme…p11. Never got beyond the partition step. I cleaned that partition to zeros. Never found a step to format it again. Installer would not let me go to the ‘install basic’ step.

In reply to James. Didn't read fully about the port. You should be able to install with trackpad alone and then enable the built-in keyboard after first boot. Or this could be irrelevant to you.

In reply to James. I think you can just connect a basic USB keyboard for the install and then enable the built-in keyboard after install according to instructions on the internet which I don't remember right now.

I got a simple request but haven’t found an answer, yet. I’m trying to install Deb12 on my surface laptop 3 but my keyboard stops working after I select an installation method. I read somewhere that I can mount the USB installation data to the RAM. Freeing up a port, so I can use an external keyboard to finish the installation.

Does any of this sound familiar, mounting the installation media data to RAM?

I’m also asking for other reasons… I’m a self-taught late bloomer.

I really do appreciate the help, thanks
