That works neither because that superdrive from apple won't run without  
drivers.


I can boot the disc on my old mac with an internal drive Maybe I will get  
a used drive for PC.

Thanks to both of you.

I managed to boot the belenos .iso so my machine can boot from USB.

@davidnotcoulthard: It is actually a Asus Zenbook (UX31 I guess).

I am going to use an external USB drive now Thans to all of you!

You mean CD drive?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Can't boot NetInstall

[amilopowers]

Yes, I am sorry.

1.Has your computer got a CD drive?
2.If it has, and a CD-RW-reading one at that, have you got a CD-RW lying  
around?

3. If so, problem (sort of) solved :)

Regarding https://trisquel.info/en/forum/cant-boot-netinstall#comment-66198 ,  
I think NetInstall ISOs are a bit 'special' compared to the other ISOs (I  
think the netinstall is rooted to Debian whilst the other ISOs aren't - might  
be wrong, though) so the incompatibility is probably to be expected.


It's also been said that 'normal' LiveUSBs won't work with Macs.

I just have given it another try with disabled UEFI.

Initially I was happy to see it acted different but I had no luck. Just an  
underline on a black screen appeared and continued to blink. I had a USB to  
Network adapter plugged in and the Internet works when running Tisquel...

Re: [Trisquel-users] Can't boot NetInstall

One more question: should it be possible to create a bootable USB with the  
system integrated USB creator or not? Because I can make one with the  
belenos .iso file but not with the Trisquel NetInstall one.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Can't boot NetInstall

[amilopowers]

Yes when I installed Trisqel maybe a month ago... Weird.

What think you about the fact that the USB creator in Tisquel doesn't let me  
write the .iso file to the USB drive?

[tomlukeywood]

some ways to write a iso file to usb drive

dd if=trisquel.iso of=/dev/(usb drive name goes here)
unetbootin lets you write a iso file to usb stick:

Make sure you've adjusted the BIOS to enable booting from a USBdisk; even if  
the installer makes the USB flashdrive bootable, in my experience it helps to  
mention something to the BIOS also.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Can't boot NetInstall

When I go into the boot settings is have UEFI enabled and I have just the  
USB drive as a boot option.


Then it throws me on every boot back into the settings page.

[Trisquel-users] Can't boot NetInstall

[amilopowers]

Hello

I tried to reinstall the system. Because I want to try KDE Plasma I  
downloaded the NetInstaller.


But the computer just won't boot from the USB drive. I wrote it with  
different methods and from a mac as well.


There do arrive files on the USB drive (see screenshot).

When I boot I choose UEFI generic USB drive (or so) and then it just gives  
me the regular choice to boot Trisquel or with advanced options.


Is there anybody who can help me?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Can't boot NetInstall

[amilopowers]

Yes I have.

I tried:

-dd
-That guide:  
https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/using-netinstall-image-bootable-usb-drive

-unetbootin (on a Mac)
-USB live creator doesn't recognize the iso as an image...
