Boot LINUX from USB…

[Chupa]

I remember the olden days (pepridge farm remembers) when there was a simple iso you burnt on disk and could test linux from any windows pc without messing with the hard drive.

What happened?  I was yesterday actually looking for an ultrabook what still can run win  7. And after todays microsoft popup from hell ( all 5 min) even with all my blocks in place, after 35 years Microsoft I am honestly  thinking of giving linux a fair try.
This bastard program kept installing itself.

The Windows 10 Update Ass

And back to Fatenzos post, yes tell us how to stick linux on an usb stick to work it .

Have you tried Ubuntu 18.04  beta?

Make sure you use DD mode when creating the USB ISO with the latest version of Rufus. That did it for me, otherwise it was a black screen with a stuck cursor at the bottom like this _

I recommend the latest Manjaro build with the updated kernels. This one works on almost everything I’ve tested with best driver support. That or Antergos.

UHM – is there a pictured guide for a blody beginner who never done any linux at all, because this all sounds Chinese to me.

I mean there are so many apollo lakes out there with people running some linux distro (see that word I know) ,with just minor differences in maybe the trac pad or the wifi modul. Isn´t there a simple usb dump what is simple to install for simple minded people like little ol´me?

Thank you all for answer.  🙂

@ Chris: I read some obscure words about DD… it seem that are a dangerous system, but in other way i stay stuck on

black screen with freeze cursor in the top left corner.

I will try your suggestion (I hope don’t create trouble on SSD/Win10).

 

@ Andrew: It seem a bios trouble and not a OS version problem. 🙂

 

Thank you-

Hi @Chupa

The first distro to try is Linux Mint. Very similar to windows but with all linux feature.

Other things to know is difference between drive naming (I mean C: D: etc in win that become something like sda sdb sdb1 etc in  linux).

Than what grub (or other bootloader) is.

Known that you can try installing your distros (not all are working atm. I’m trying to manage kali now) 😀

On ezbook 3 you need to follow some easy steps greatly described in the guide from @baxtex in this post #75601

[Chupa]

the problem with this “easy” guide is, you need a linux machine to spin your version. since: and I spun the latest Linux Mint cinnamon aswell, available
here.

and here is a no file.

The file you are trying to download is no longer available.

This could be due to the following reasons:

The file has been removed because of a ToS/AUP violation.

Invalid URL – the link you are trying to access does not exist

The file has been deleted by the user.

and people are still using mega ????  to upload and slowwwwwwwwly download?

Hi,

I try with RUFUS (ISO and DD), ETCHER, UNETBOOTIN, YUMI, UNIVERSAL USB INSTALLER, SARDU, rEFInd

Always with not good ending. Maybe it’s my fault, but probably there is something strange in this story.

Really is not possibile to use a bootable USB, to use LINUX?

 

Actually I have a only one good end: TAILS (special procedure)

[Ageatis]

<p class=”user-nicename”>@enzone68k</p>
Sure that is possibile. You just need to respin the distro you need (as I know) and than create a bootable usb with one of the tools you named (ususally I use the inbuild sw of linux). The only limitation came from isorespin script that do not accept some distro (pe kali)

[FatEnzo]

Thank you for your time and patience, Ageatis.  🙂

It seem that don’t works on my jumper (may be is my fault).

I tru to repeat, step by step tour instructions, but at the end, I remain with a black screen and a stuck white underscore in the upper left corner.

I have no idea of what strange trouble I have in my UEFI… Now I would test the service named “OS SELECTION” (in chipset)

by default on Windows, and try with other option (Android, win7,, dos).

Any suggest, dear Ageatis, is a pleasure!  Thank you.

[Ageatis]

Give a try at the file in gdrive/torrent i liked some post before.

As written it is a mint 18.3 version that works for sure (is the one I have on my pc) and than we will try to understand your problem

[FatEnzo]

Thank you, tomorrow i re re re re try to combat against Jumper 3! .)

A detail discoverev justnnow that i want share with you all:

The only OS that start by my usb is TAILS.

TAILS is based on Debian and not on Ubuntu. Could be an important fact?!
