I have had almost nothing but issues booting various distro on usb drives, why I still keep a trusty usb cdrom and floppy around. It's the only great equalizer. Last time I tried unetbootin, it wouldn't write the disk label properly on the usb drive to boot arch linux on weirdly, as just how it t

I'd check out clonezilla bootable images, I've booted a server on a vm and started imaging other vms with it before, it's pretty cool. Using the lite-server might add a quickie option to get it booted over the network. Note: this puts a dhcp on your network, which will probably conflict with your

Download an image for installing over network from whatever distro you want to use. Then burn it to cd and install on computer and it will run and connect to the the distro site and will start to install the files. On Sun, Aug 4, 2019, at 15:31, Snyder, Alexander J wrote: > I've never installed

If it’s only 5 years old it should have the ability to install from a network. I have a 7 year old laptop and it can install either from dvd/cd, usb, network. It also is running the fedora 30 which is the newest version. On Sun, Aug 4, 2019, at 10:50, Matthew Gibson wrote: > Does it have the abi

The internal drive is recognized by the BIOS, but fails to spin up. The Laptop was built in 2009 by Puget Systems (https://www.pugetsystems.com/), so yes, the hardware is old, but I highly doubt it's "Too Old" for Linux. I found another USB SSD I bought the same time as the laptop, so I'm going to

Does it have the ability to boot from network? Didn't you say that the laptop has an internal DVD/CD drive? Could your install media need to be locked in some way after the burn is complete? Is the ISO too new to work with old hard ware? These are a few of my thoughts. I'll see if I can find my ow

Looking for help! Does anyone have a bootable Linux CD? I have an old laptop that hasn't been powered on in about 5 years. It last ran Fedora 21, but for an unknown reason the FS is corrupt and only boots to emergency mode. I'm going to format and install CentOS 7 over it, but the old laptop do
