    okay thank you for the videos, I will also look into Systemrescue, and I was born in 1974.

    Can't Find My Password

    After testing out 20+ distros I chose Feren based on its simplicity and mainly because I can turn off all automatic updates so that it will never update again unless manually. No other distros would allow me to do that. Now I know some users will say that its bad to turn off automatic updates...

    Can't Find My Password

    I'm already down a road of hurt to try and use Linux to write the new iso so I did it with Windows (which I also hate lol) I am trying everything I can, throwing the kitchen sink at this and I just can't get past this kernel thing. I just reformatted a different USB to Fat32 reinstalled the iso...

    Can't Find My Password

    I wouldn't have guessed it really, you're dealing with an amateur here, and amateurs shouldn't even be dealing with Linux, its just too complicated in compatibility for a regular user. Is this hopefully the last step to boot up the live disk? I just saved and exited and then went to reboot and...

    Can't Find My Password

    It doesn't say disable secure boot but fast boot was already disabled? And I had swapped the Boot #1 and #2 sequence before.

    Can't Find My Password

    yes it has had windows installed on it before but then I wiped it completely and reformatted it to EXT4 with the Linux installed. I changed the boot sequence to go to the USB as the first boot and the Linux as the 2nd boot. I don't see where you are saying keymaps and that large list, but no...

    Can't Find My Password

    hello osprey, thank you for that list of manufacturers but my mini-PC is not on it, its not a brand name computer, its called ACE Magician (https://www.acemagic.com/products/t8plus) which I have found the keystroke on Reddit. So I'm into the boot menu but another error comes up blocking me...

    Can't Find My Password

    thank you for that step-by-step, I'm at the point of this now above, what keys do I need to hit or hold down during reboot and startup? and what do you mean by "proper exit from the live disk"? thank you.

    Can't Find My Password

    From what I'm reading after some research, I can't simply split or resize a partition in use to create another one to install another op system. Would that be correct? If so, then how do I do that? I need a parallel Linux running to tap back into the target disk to split it? Why wouldn't they...

    Can't Find My Password

    ok thank you for your speedy responses, if I may ask you guys another question - I'm trying to split my main partition but get this error pop up, I thought I was doing it by this 130 GB Loop Device as you can see in the left side index but I guess that is wrong. These are the steps that I'm...

    Can't Find My Password

    Trying to split my main partition in Feren but can't find my password to do it. I thought it would be in my User profile but it isn't, not even a hint area. How can I find this? thank you

    Trying to Create Bootable USB X3 Partitions With Testing Distros

    @wizard, I figured it out already, but thanks anyways, it was quite easy, loving Linux thus far, exploring distros, hating Windows even more, regretting I haven't done this before now

    Trying to Create Bootable USB X3 Partitions With Testing Distros

    okay so I was finally able to just now successfully install Ubuntu 22.04.2 Linux Lite 6.4.iso onto this small Asus TS10 VivoStick which has only 32 gb's HD on it. The Deepin' says it needed 64 gb's for an install, not sure why so much, it's crazy so I wasn't able to install my preferred distro...

    Trying to Create Bootable USB X3 Partitions With Testing Distros

    okay, what other distros asks minimal questions or has minimal steps to upload from the USB into a wiped PC's drive? any other names would be greatly appreciated.

    Trying to Create Bootable USB X3 Partitions With Testing Distros

    yes, this is what I'm trying to do - "install one Linux Distro at a time, on one machine at a time" "provide an auto-run type non-interactive installation that you could walk away from..." - yes, this is what I'm trying to do to. this is for my own home workspace, but I have 4 Windows PC's...

    Trying to Create Bootable USB X3 Partitions With Testing Distros

    I'm using Windows at the moment (hate it) reformatted my new USB to EXT4 using Eassos DiskGenius. Then installed Ventoy on it which reformatted the USB back to FAT (I guess that's why I had to download the Windows version of Ventoy) but Ventoy did not create 2 partitions. I'm missing the smaller...

    Trying to Create Bootable USB X3 Partitions With Testing Distros

    Just to be clear - I don’t want to run a Linux distro off of the USB thumb drive as a daily workstation, I want to just plug the USB into many different computers to autoload install full versions of different Linux distros into different computers. Will Ventoy or PenDrive do what I have just...

    Trying to Create Bootable USB X3 Partitions With Testing Distros

    no I didn't read the Ventoy page yet but it sounds like what I need then, I tried to do this with BalenaEtcher, Rufus, PCLinq5, DiskGenius, GParted and I have gotten repeated errors and couldn't do it, so I thought this might be the same. but I'll give Ventoy a shot :)

    Trying to Create Bootable USB X3 Partitions With Testing Distros

    well I don't want to reformat the disk again and again, I want to format it once to EXT4 and split it up into 3 partitions with distros on each, but what about the boot menu and drivers, kernels, what will happen with that?
