I wouldn't had done it without you guys :D I like the option to start a new Thread, it makes more sense. I'll take a break for a few days to deal with other issues, but I'll be back soon. Cheers! Angela angelmpb

So, the final installation looks good. I did a lot of crazy stuff trying to fix a problem with my computer's speakers not working (I can only listen to sound with a headset), crashed the computer, so I followed all the steps and did a fresh install. The computer runs beautifully, I will deal...

Forgot to answer to your question @wizardfromoz . Well, I wasn't doing much for the last 7 years or so, just helping family and friends around with their basic computer issues, but neglected to deal with my own things. I have a mid 2011 iMac running El Capitan, a couple of laptop computers with...

May the Force be with you.

Never trust an atom. They make up everything!

I definitely want to get rid of Windows XP in this computer, that is why I want to do full Lubuntu install right away. I found a link about these two install options: 1) Encrypt the new Ubuntu installation for security (you will choose a security key in the next step). 2) Use LVM with the new...

Uhu! Before trying etcher I decided to give it a try with an older USB drive (why not? all is old here ;)). Formated this USB drive to FAT32, downloaded lubuntu 16.04.3, ran unetbootin exe, which recognized the drive where my USB drive was installed (good sign!). The bootable USB drive was...

I'm in the Pacific time zone. I was just thinking about starting all over tomorrow with the 16.04 series, you just reassured me this is a good try. Thanks again!

Thanks @wizardfromoz . The reason I had to run unetbootin using the command line was to force it to find my USB drive. Just running the app wasn't allowing me to fill the DRIVE field, it just turned up blank. Anyway, the lubuntu download I have is lubuntu-17.10-desktop-i386.iso I definitely got...

After several tries, I was able to create a bootable USB drive using Unetbootin. Still, My computer does not recognize it. I even left the only option to boot using the USB drive, and I get a message that there is no bootable device available. Yes, I formated the USB drive to FAT32, was only...

Hi @wizardfromoz. Yes, I am the one at the other discussion group. I first posted my question there and I was not patient enough to wait for an answer. I cannot remove that post since I didn't register at that site before posting the question :oops: Anyway, I see your point, I will stick to this...

Thanks, I actually saw it, but I was wondering if I could find somebody here with more recent experience to help me with this process.

Hi Wizard, Thanks for your reply. This is the spec for my computer, but I already did some changes. I installed more memory, now it has 2GB of RAM. I also installed a 250GB hard drive. It is running Windows XP Professional 2002 SP2. I stopped using this computer a few years ago, but now I...

I have no experience with Linux but I want to learn to use it. I have an old Dell Inspiron 700m laptop that I want to use for it, but I don't know where to start, there are too many types of information out there. I'd appreciate if anyone who has experience installing Linux on this type of...
