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.

Ophcrack is a free software program that recovers passwords so the first step you'll need to take is to visit Ophcrack's website . When the Ophcrack website loads as shown above, click the Download ophcrack LiveCD button.

Another Note: The instructions I've put together here walk you through the entire process of using Ophcrack LiveCD to recover your password. If you...

Basic ADSL Router setup The full GUI can be accessed at http://ui.linksys.com/WRT54G/v1-v4/4.20.7/index.htm location  The router will work out of the box, but has none of the security functions enabled as standard. It should be connected by Cat5 or 5e ethernet cable between a modem and the computer network as its job is to manage traffic and protect the network with its built-in firewall. Configuring the WRT54GS is quite straightforward thanks to its user-friendly web interface. To access it enter; http://192.168.1.1 into your web browser. You will be prompted to enter a username and password. Enter admin for both, you will be changing this later.

How To Setup a USB Flash Drive to Install Windows 7

If you have an ISO image of Windows 7, using Microsoft’s free utility is a quick and easy option to get the image on your USB flash drive. It requires XP SP2 or higher and if you’re using an XP machine you’ll need .NET Framework 2.0, and Microsoft Image Mastering API V2…both of which can be downloaded from the link below. It seemed to work best if I formatted the flash drive as NTFS before using the download tool. But that could be because of the flash drive I used…your mileage may vary.   It’s a pretty straight forward process, first browse to the location of your Windows 7 ISO file and click Next. Select USB device…this also helps you burn the ISO to DVD as well if you need that option. Choose your flash drive and click Begin copying. Now just wait for the process to complete. The drive will be formatted and files copied to the flash drive. When the process is finished you will be able to see the files on the flash drive as you would if you opened the installat...
