1300391 2012-09-15 22:10:00 Yeah I've used YUMI to make a USB drive that has both the MATE and the Cinnamon LiveCD / installers on it. It's a handy little tool! Chilling_Silence (9)

Random question here Chill - which do you prefer, cinnamon or MATE?

I like the admin type tools that are available as well. Linux is so good for an endless range of purposes.

1300394 2012-09-16 00:18:00 What program do you all use to make a usb stick bootable - I've looked around and tried a few, but all have failed so far. And I'm out of DVD's :p Nick G (16709)
1300395 2012-09-16 00:26:00 I format with the Hewlett Packard USB formatting tool,
www.softpedia.com
then install with Unetbootin (Windows version)

Cheers. I'm just about to try another program, if that fails I'll give unetbootin a go.

1300397 2012-09-16 01:32:00 Ok, I had the same problem with that one as I have with all the others. I put the iso on using the program, shut down the computer, start it up, set the bios settings to boot from the usb, save and exit.....and.....I'm always returned to the bios. Any ideas?

1300398 2012-09-16 01:39:00 if you hit (f8?) a bunch of times does the USB stick show as a bootable device along with your HDD and CD drive? icow (15313)

I'll have a look.

1300400 2012-09-16 02:36:00 Done the f8, I got a list of what I wanted to do, no list of what I could boot from though. Nick G (16709)
