There doesn't seem to be an XFCE ISO release coming for the new version of Mint, so I started looking around for an alternative and found Lite. I'm surprised at how polished it is for such a small project, and I've had very little trouble getting it set up.
I've used Linux exclusively for about 12 or 13 years, but I'd much rather use something like this "beginners" distro that doesn't take a lot of time to set up so I can start working.

| Invisible Disk Encryption Password Request (Possible bug?) |

I installed 3.6 with LVM and encryption enabled for the whole hard drive. When I boot, I see just the feather splash screen. I can type in my encryption password and it boots normally, but there is nothing on the screen asking for the password. If it doesn't fully boot, I can't tell if it's hanging or I just typed the password in wrong.
The only related post I've found had a user installing 3.4 multiple times due to "hanging" issued until it worked correctly: https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/start.../#msg33720
I'm wondering if this user was encountering the same problem but hadn't tried typing in their password when it seemed to hang.
Is there something I'm missing here? If it is a bug, is there a verbose mode I can switch on for boot if the password request is showing up as text underneath the splash screen?

I was looking for a linux distro to put on my old Dell D430 and come across Linux Lite and tried it and was impressed.
I used to use PCLinuxOS Full Monty but it is no longer available, so i installed Linux Lite on my desktop as well.

| New HDD how to then change computer OS to LL 3.4 |

Different computer, new question! I just got back an old Dell Latitude 630 about 7-9 years old from one of the youth whom I help academically. Luckily just AFTER his last exam the hard disk drive failed so looks like I will need to replace it.
Before I go to the trouble of purchasing one on amazon.com and having a friend bring it to me here in South Africa I wanted to find out what exactly I’d need to do (and if I was capable of doing it) once the HDD is replaced to simply switch it to LL 3.4?
This computer was running Win XP and I am wondering once the new HDD is inserted (I’m comfortable with replacing it) do I need to do anything or as long as the boot order is right will my LL 3.4 USB be mounted ok allowing me to simply load and trial LL then install?
Thanks,
Janet
