Creating installation media

1. Use Rufus (Windows) or balenaEtcher (cross-platform) to write the ISO to a USB drive (8 GB+ recommended).
2. For UEFI systems, create a FAT32-formatted USB; for legacy BIOS, NTFS or DVD is acceptable.
3. Ensure the USB is set as the first boot device in firmware settings.
