How can I install Linux Lite by the very beginning?
#22
Moltke,

I did NOT boot into Linux Lite. There was a question if the problem was the BIOS that can not do boot from a USB driver or if the problem is anything else. In order to answer that question, I used an other old pendrive USB bootable (with windows boot for example) just to check if the BIOS is able to do boot from an USB device as I configured it for.  The BIOS did successfully boot from a USB device, so it´s a proof that my BIOS is correct configured to do that and the problem is anything else than BIOS configuration.

Then there is not point to me to send here a screenshot of my BIOS configuration or the model of my PC.

To go further on that it´s important to answer the questions I made, especially question two.



firenice03,

I don´t know what you mean by use UEFI.
Like I said so many times before, Balena Etcher does not work. That´s the reason why I tried all those other steps I mentioned on this post. Unfortunately nothing works.



DeepThought,

"Linux Lite needs legacy boot in the bios to work unless you use the uefi version from the link I gave you."  Why the manual does not mention anything about that? Why do I need an unknown person on the forum to send me an ISO since I have downloaded the ISO from the official website already?

It would be terrible if I had to look for a new Linux distribution after all these hours of research and all efforts to try Linux Lite.

Isn't Linux Lite supposed to be an easier, little, simple and fast way to initiate with Linux?  Is this OS supposed to replace Windows without at least a decent manual?  If  I am wrong please tell me other distribution of Linux, because I am having a bad experience with all that.


I think the best way to solve this is answering my questions, especially the second one: "2. What exactly steps should be done after download the ISO considering:....."

For example:

STEP 1: Download ISO using the link from oficial LinuxLite website.  -> Status OK. Done!!

STEP 2: ..... ?

STEP 3: ..... ?

STEP 4: ..... ?
.

I don´t know if I did it right, but I did that following steps considering we don´t have manual for that:


STEP 1: Download ISO using the link from oficial LinuxLite website. ->  Status OK. Done!!

STEP 2: I used Rufos software in order to create a bootable USB device.  -> Status OK. Done!

STEP 3: I used "Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.9.0" software to extract the ISO file into the USB device. ->  Status OK. Done!

STEP 4: I configured the BIOS to do boot from an USB device before start Windows 10 boot.  -> Status OK. Done!

STEP 5: Boot into Linux Lite from the USB device and click on the icon "install" to start deploying Linux Lite. -> FAIL !!!



It does not boot LinuxLite!!  I don´t know why yet. Are the steps I performed correct?


Is there a way to double check if the procedure described on Step 2 really worked?

Is there a way to check if Steps 1 to 3 are correct?  I am only sure about Step 4 procedure because I could check it.


Is there a most simple, little, and easy Linux distribution that has a manual step by step like this to install and configure it?
