Re: [LUG] Desktop Linux

 

Hi Guys

t looks like I don't have the option of booting from a usb drive.
When I look at boot device priority it says HDD or Network. Should
there be an option for usb please? Is it possible to load the os onto
the hd someway or if not looks like I need to get a dvd drive?

Thanks
