You'll need to create a LIVEUSB from the ISO you downloaded (see manual) - you can boot to it to test and try LinuxLite from within you can choose to install...
To start after creating LiveUSB..
- You'll want to disable fast boot in Windows - https://in.answers.acer.com/app/answers/...st-startup
- Disable UEFI (set bios to legacy and turn off secure boot) https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/start.html#uefi
- Then boot to the USB
Torreydale and I posted at the same time.. Lots of info in the manual and within the forum
Oh and Welcome
Thanks for your response, the information you have given has been very helpful.
I can't seem to get a LIVEUSB though. I downloaded the Win32DiskImager, installed it and ran it. It shows Cancel, Read, Write, Verify Only, Exit as possible options but at first only Exit shows in black, the others are greyed out. When I enter a filename and press enter then Read appears in black, the others remain grey.
The first time I ran this program, Win10 was convinced it had written it on a DVD in drive D: even though I had selected drive H. File Explorer showed the file on a DVD in drive D, a phantom DVD because drive D was empty. I looked at the size of the iso file and it was 986 MB so I backed it up on an 8GB USB stick.
I realized that even though Win32DiskImager only shows Read option it actually has produced two files during the 5 or 6 times I have run it. These files are much larger, linux-lite-3.4-beta-64bit (14.9GB) and linux-lite-3.4-64bit (28.9). I figure that these two files are the output of Win32DiskImager program and that these are the bootable files, but neither will copy to either of my USB sticks. I get a file too large error even when I try to copy the smaller beta file (14.9GB) onto a new 32USB stick I had to buy just for this bootable USB Linux Lite OS.
I know something is wrong, probably something I have done or something with some security limitation. I have uninstalled MacAfee.
Before I started I chose Linux Lite precisely because I thought it was lite. I didn't have any idea what size it would be but I was hoping it would be much smaller than 32GB. Did I make the wrong choice of a Linux distribution?
Thanks
