Linux Lite 5.0 Installation Guide

I tried making the bootable USB with Rufus, but it did not work hence below is the guide on how to make bootable usb.  

Installation Guide

To install Linux Lite you will need to download the ISO file, then create either a bootable DVD or USB stick from the ISO. To create a bootable DVD, you need to burn the ISO as an "image" to the DVD. Below are listed three free Windows programs that will enable you to do that. If burning to a USB stick, we have also listed a free program that we recommend for doing that in Windows; or a reliable method to create a bootable USB when using a Linux system, or OSX.
Once you have your bootable media created, you may need to access your computer's BIOS settings to set the boot order for booting CD/DVD/USB's first (before the hard drive). Typically there will be one or two special keys that can be pressed during initial power-up of the computer (before an operating system starts booting) that will allow you access to either the BIOS Settings/Startup Menu or a separate Boot Menu. Specific keys vary from one manufacturer to the next, so refer to your user manual if you are not sure how to access the settings.

Writing the Linux Lite ISO to a USB on Windows

You must use Etcher to write the Linux Lite image/ISO to a USB drive. This is not a recommendation, it is necessary.

Guide:

- Insert a 4Gb or larger USB stick into your PC. You MUST format the entire USB drive to Fat32 before proceeding.
- Install, then start Etcher.
- Click on Select Image and select the Linux Lite downloaded image/ISO, click on Open.
- Click on Flash. Wait for the entire procedure including validation to complete.
- Job complete.

These instructions are generic for Windows, Linux and Mac OS.

Writing the Linux Lite ISO to a DVD on Windows

Here is some free DVD burning software for you to select from:
BurnAware Free - http://www.burnaware.com
CDBurnerXP - http://cdburnerxp.se/
Place a blank DVD in your DVD drive, open up the program, select the ISO file that you want to burn. Choose the lowest burn speed, this will greatly reduce the risk of your burn becoming corrupt as can sometimes happen. A 4x or 6x speed is recommended if you have it. The lower the burn speed, the better.

Linuxfx 10 : A Windows-Like Linux Distro

The idea of Linuxfx is to make it easier for people who are migrating from Windows 7. People who are dissatisfied with the lack of security and stability of Windows 10 are also fit for Linuxfx. LinuxFX Desktop : Apart from Windows-like looks, Linuxfx also has more to offer which a regular user will definitely admire. So, let’s get along with me to know more about Windows alternative Linuxfx. As usual, I started by downloading the ISO image of Linuxfx from the official site  here . Then, instead of dual-booting, I decided to install it on my VirtualBox to play safely. After finishing the basic configuration, as soon as I booted it, I noticed a Windows logo and system integrity check. That’s quite surprising because every Linux distro puts their own or OEM logo on that place. But I think Linuxfx wants to make migrating users feel like home from the beginning. Entering the boot menu, Linuxfx redirected and logged in to a live session. Whoah! it can also detect the system I’m using — a...

Share Registry Editor Favorite Keys Across Computers

if you spend a lot of time inside your registry editor, you might already know that you can use the Favorites feature to add in a bookmark to a specific key in the registry, saving you immense amounts of time when you need to check a bunch of different keys. But did you think about exporting that list so you can use it on any computer? Here’s the menu I’m talking about: For instance, here I’m adding in a favorite for the local machine’s Run key, used to launch applications across all users. Now when I use the menu item, it will navigate me instantly to that key in the registry, no matter where I currently am. As I added a few favorites, it occurred to me that I should figure out where those menu items are being stored… Now browse down to this registry key to find the favorites list: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Regedit\Favorites And there’s the favorite we just saved… so how does this help you? If you export this r...
