You could "dd" it to the stick, some bootable things work better via another method. Alternatively, try media writer again, and wait longer than you think you need to when it finishes before unplugging or rebooting. > Or do I indeed need to burn this to a CD (with my USB CD/DVD writer) > then try booting that? Sometimes that's the easiest solution. Though, again, you can strike a problem that the ISO image's bootblock is not compatible with your system. Which would be ironic, since the ISO is designed *for* your system. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 (yes, this is the output from uname for this PC when I posted) Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
