An unofficial Debian Installer for Pinebook Pro
Just a quick note to mention that v5.5 has finally landed via the openbuildservice and should start getting picked up by your `apt upgrade` shortly. There are some big changes in what is and isn't a module in this version. This does cause some modprobe warnings during boot (since /etc/initramfs-tools/modules assume the old module structure) but these are harmless.

If you see any problems please put them in the github tracker (although only if you think the problem is caused by the kernel... problems caused by upstream packages are better reported upstream and noted in the wiki)

I don't know if it matters what keyboard but after picking one does it change how you select the other settings after this point? When the dialogue pops up about selecting one or more desktop environments I arrow down to gnome and press enter. When I get finished and reboot I'm staring at a headless Debian. How do you select options is it not enter button.

I have an ISO Pinebook so I can't give a prescriptive answer but, in general, choose the most generic looking option (for ISO keyboards that is 105-key international). Basically although no modern laptop actually has a 105-key keyboard they are generally designed to *act* like the most common one for the territory.

For the curses (sorry that is jargon... "For the desktop chooser") interface then I think <Space> is used to check the boxes.
