May not hurt to post the laptops model, may be one of those 64bit-ers with 32bit UEFI...

Could you please explain that more. Does it mean that those 64bit-ers with 32bit UEFI. cannot use linuxlite? I happen to have one with Atom X5-Z8300
@Erik Larsson
It can work... just needs additional tweaking to make it so,...

You will want to search the forums as others have been able to install..  I searched 32bit uefi

You have to right click on Etcher and Make it executable first.

I was trying to run etcher on my laptop with xubuntu installed and it just wouldn't start. Then tried running it on another pc with elementary os on it and kept getting an error saying the image was on the drive I was trying to install it on or something which it wasn't. Got it running on my laptop which I ended up installing mx linux on since i couldn't get this os to work  :P and mx linux only started working after making the adjustments to my bios that firenice03 recommended to get linux lite working.

Finally got it working by downloading the UEFI version. Still not totally sure what the issue was but thanks for all the help!

I've installed linux lite on a usb stick but my laptop can't seem to boot it. I installed it using unetbootin and when that didn't work followed the instructions in the help manual to install it using the command line and it still won't work. In the fist instance I can select the usb drive from the boot menu but nothing happens and in the second instance the usb isn't even an option. Any help greatly appreciated

Might not be the how your creating but the system...
Are you on Linux or Windows? You mention command line?? But regardless Etcher is the way to go..

If its not reading the USB - Ensure "secureboot" is disabled in BIOS

Also, which may be a hang up, LL should be installed in Legacy mode vs. UEFI (turn UEFI off or use the experimental UEFI LL version) also in BIOS..

If this is a Windows box, disabling FastBoot from within the Windows Control Panel is advised.

If a 32bit system use 32bit LL (3.x series) - LL4.x is 64bit only

May not hurt to post the laptops model, may be one of those 64bit-ers with 32bit UEFI...

If Etcher doesn't work, I can't see how anything would. It's the easiest point and click, cross platform option out there.
And Etcher is really purtty! ;)
Sorry, couldn't help myself.
Also, if for some reason you have to use Windows to create keys, I used Rufus a few hundred times too,  before I found Etcher on Linux ;)

Cheers!

The md5sum is not a fix.  It is a check to verify that your downloaded ISO file was correctly downloaded.  There is a md5sum number listed for the properly downloaded file at https://linuxliteos.com/download.php.  You just need to verify that the md5 checksum for the file you downloaded matches the md5 checksum that is listed at the above link.


As far as Etcher goes, I don't know how to make it any easier.  Etcher is easier to use than UNetbootin, and in my experience, its results are more reliable.

I haven't been able to get etcher to work either but if your other fix doesnt work I'll try getting etcher to work on another machine. Cheers

Consider checking the MD5Sum of your downloaded ISO to verify the integrity of your download and using Etcher instead to create your bootable media.  See the following link:
