Some
laptops do not have an optical DVD read and write drive. Other ones
do, but people get fed up with burning lots of DVD's. Whatever the
reasons one might have, we have another solution. How about using a
USB pen drive to try out Linux?
This
will then allow you to have some practice with your new operating
system (OS) before any changes take place on your pc!
Here
comes the guide (other people have already asked for such help!) on
how to use a bootable USB drive! This is the advantage of the Open
Source, there is always somebody in another part of the world who has
encountered the same challenge.
Guide1
This is a step by step guide using pictures. But if you still do need
any other information, there are so many links to use, just in case
you have any questions or difficulties. It's a compact website where
everything is only a click away. As with a live DVD one has to first
check the computer BIOS setting. This is the readable part which
appears on the screen as soon as one fires up a pc. In the BIOS you
have to make sure that your PC will boot up on the USB first and not
on its hard-disk. There is some help in the previous posting about
how to change the bios settings.
Guide2
This is a picture (screenshots) tutorial for those who feel a little
bit more confident in hacking (personalizing) his PC, although it's
quite straightforward and easy to understand.
Have
fun!
