Netbooks-Deliberately crippled by Microsoft's 32-bit UEFI firmware

Posted 04-12-2023 at 02:10 AM by beachboy2
Updated 04-12-2023 at 04:21 AM by beachboy2

Trying to install Linux on a Windows netbook with 32-bit UEFI firmware?

USB stick with Ubuntu Live system doesn't boot - why?

Posted 01-19-2011 at 04:17 AM by bittner (Notes on Linux)
Updated 01-19-2011 at 04:39 AM by bittner

Creating an installation stick with Ubuntu seems to be a piece of a cake nowadays. Ubuntu does provide a tool, the "Startup Disk Creator" (System > Administration > Startup Disk Creator) which frees novice Linux users from knowing operating system level details. At least it seems.
