Fedora 30 Mate: Where is the "Install to Hard Drive" link?

etcetera · 07-21-2019, 06:41 PM

I booted into the live desktop but I don't see anywhere the "Install to Hard Drive" link.

this is from spins.

My experience (with CentOS) is that one chooses either to run the Live version or to install to the hard drive, so once you're in the Live version, the install option is not there.

Reboot. You should be given a choice to install instead of running Live. Let us know.

Is it not on the desktop or in the menu? Usually there is a link on both.

Did you download the .iso from Fedora spins directly or another site, did you check the signatures etc...?

as scasey has mentioned, you will need to reboot and select the install option

That still does not explain why its not there. Fedora always had the install to disk link, and many youtube reviews for 30 still show it. Also, a livecd of 30 Xfce that I have next to me shows the link.

The explaination is that the OP is booting to Live and trying to install from the Fedora iso from within the Live. It don't work that way.

Yes, when they boot to the iso, there should be a link to install.
