Dear Maintainer,

Attempting an install of .i386 DVD 1 through USB stick, the Install process stops shortly after
searching for installation files, bringing up a read error. Running the md5 integrity check will eventually
find an error with some file on the system, though the specific file varies on installation attempts. Thus it is not
possible to install the .iso. This is despite correct sha256sum checks. A netinst iso is available and works fine,
as a temporary workaround.

This suggests that *maybe* your USB stick is faulty - this can be
all-too-common problem. How are you writing the image to it please?
Could you also please double-check that the image is written correctly
by doing a checksum readback from the USB stick afterwards?

The .iso is for the latest debian bullseye, taken from
