Airlock Gateway supports the installation from USB flash drives as the installation medium instead of using a DVD.
For computers with UEFI
If you get a black screen while booting from the USB flash drive, disable Secure Boot in the UEFI settings of your Airlock Gateway server.

Computers with legacy BIOS
If you get an error message while booting from the USB flash drive before the GRUB boot menu is displayed, disable auto-detection for USB media in the server BIOS. Select the media as harddisk instead.
