Trying to install Proxmox on a Lenovo ThinkCentre M73 Desktop. The system's running an Intel G3220T @ 2.60GHz. Trying to install via USB and it gags on "no cdrom found":

I used Rufus 3.3 to make the USB drive for the `proxmox-ve_5.3-2.iso`.
 
@chchang which setting for the Linux distro did you use as I can't get Easy2boot to actually make a bootable USB for Proxmox.

I did use Etcher for Windows as per @tom's suggestion of following that page and this worked to create a bootable USB.

@tom, you might want to put this note about making USBs right on the download page (https://www.proxmox.com/en/downloads) or as a popup message. It's easy to just pop onto your existing usual USB flashing tool and not realize this could happen...
