When system boots from the Bootable USB created using Rufus 2.0 with LMDE 5 image.How do you get to the busybox prompt when you turn on your computer?
Is busybox a full implementation, or just a subsystem like WSL?
Busybox has zero relevance to whether you're running a 'full' system or otherwise
Oh, yah.....point taken. But I still repeat that Busybox is what it is - a space-saving device for anyone who wants to "keep the weight down". And that's regardless of whether it's a full system or some kind of subsystem.I agree, but there wouldn't be a sysLinux boot file if it was a subsystem.
I understand from your and others posts.We are aware that Rufus has not been playing well with Linux for a year or two now, that's why we recommend Balena, Rufus may work if you try again but use the DD command, also at installation stage you may have more luck if you select install in legacy mode
