Today  I  installed  Debian  9.3  on  an   Asus   EeePC,   called
``guanaco''.

When downloading the image, I was a bit confused what the  archi-
tecture  is.  amd64? i386? Somewhere on the Internet, I read that
the Intel N550 chip would be amd64, but then I installed the i386
image ... whatever, it worked. ;-)

Writing the image on the USB drive, I used cp(1),  not  dd(1)  as
usually:

     cp debian.iso /dev/sdd

On [0] I read that I had to hit ESC multiple times to select  the
boot device.

This page was helpful as well.  [1]

Concerning the networking, firmware-brcm80211 [2] was  *not*  the
correct firmware. I had to use firmware-ralink.  [3] This  needed
recherche and some trial'n'error.
