[SOLVED] Installing on an Old Laptop
#2
Hello breisleach,

I do not have experience of doing this myself, it is best to await confirmation before attempting, as there may be newer, or more suitable methods.

According to this tutorial link from 2007
http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/ins...-from.html

you can install a Linux Distro directly from the downloaded iso file in windows, eg; without burning it to a cd/dvd or using a USB flash drive. This would overcome the issue you are experiencing.

Edit: After installing Linux, there are some ways to manage partitions, it may allow you to delete windows and use the full hard drive for Linux Lite.
