Linux Live CDs

Posts Tagged ‘Ive’

Well the computer is a P4, 512 ram, and its around 3ghz. Ive tried ubuntu, linux mint, and they run but pretty slow. I dont want damn small linux cause i tried that and the mouse is really weird on it. Any other suggestions? I want it to run smooth from the live cd.

I Downloaded Linux Mint and im trying to make it a bootable disk so i can run it as a live CD. I have wasted 4 CDs trying to burn it correctly but it will not open the file and run. Ive made the Disk Bootable, ive followed the Tutorials Exactly but it wont work. Help?

Ive been trying to install or run a linux LIVE cd on a dell anyone ever done it and actually had it work or is it just something with a delll that does not allow it to happen? on any other computer i have it works fine its just the damn dell’s!!!!!!!!

I’m trying to get Linux Ubuntu 6.10 “Edgy Eft” running, but the live CD won’t even work. Ive tried trouble shooting like downloading a new ISO, making a new copy, using a one hundred percent workable ISO recorder, and changing the BIOS.

The first issue was it didn’t even attempt to start. I fixed it by changing the bios to boot up from a disk drive first. That worked, and I was able to get to the “root boot-up” screen.

The ther was a second issue. The disk defect thing worked perfect, detected no errors. However, even in safe graphics mode, something caused it to go massively wrong. I thought my laptop turned into an expensive paperweight! Turns out that it wasn’t a linux or LCD screen problem, or linux, but rather the laptop itself. The CD works on all computers ‘cept for mine.
