I'm trying to install LL2.2 on my 10 year old laptop running XP. The problem is that the dvd/cd driver in XP is corrupt and nothing can get it it working. So I have tried install using a USB flash drive. The BIOS is set up to boot from 'removable device' but everytime I start up up it just goes and reloads XP!
Is there a way to get LL2.2 to install on this laptop by running it from within Windows or has anyone any idea how to overcome this issue?
thanks

hello

recently got a refurb laptop with W7. had problems with mouse pad so installed W8 which i have on my PC not realising i only had licence for 1 machine. got mail from microsoft informing me i had to buy a new licence. as i was working out what to do microsoft uninstalled W8 on the laptop which now shows a blank black screen and nothing else.

saved linux lite to USB and plugged into laptop hoping to get free install but won't boot and screen still black.

any suggestions?



chancing my arm here, i have to say i'm mighty displeased with the fact linux spammed my machine with a load of difficult to get rid of pop ups, toolbar hijackers and the like. what is this? i thought you people were ethical. very bad PR.

your download instructions are not clear and so far i wd rate microsoft over linux in the front of house stakes. let's hope the OS is better or same as W8 about which i have no complaints apart from price and corporate roots.

Recent install of 2.2, I have three accounts on the computer and have auto login disabled, the computer goes to the login screen on start up, two of the users have to type in their password to get access to their account, my account, the administrator one, clicking on my name takes me into my account without me typing my password, I've tried the disable auto login on the menu but just get a message that it can't be done a second time. Now I assume I have to access the configuration files and modify them but I'm not sure what command I need or what to change, can you people advise please.

Sometimes, whisker menu doesn't response when i clicked. How i know what the cause and how to fix this.

With Lite 2.2 my 10 numbers key pad works to type in my password when starting Linux but not afterwards. On an Acer Aspire 5740. Num lock is on.

Thanks, Bart

I am very new to Linux and i am loving it..unfortunately i got a little trigger happy adjusting my settings. i was just wondering of there were a way to restore the default desktop environment

Thank you in advance. 

New to the site name is clint, work for an isp who is switching everything over from windows mix to pure linux enviroment with linuxlite as the primary workstation os and centos for all servers

LL2.0  Catfish and LCleaner upgrade - basic Kernel, Updates run.  Suddenly lost Thunderbird start up when clicking Thunderbird in Whisker menu.  Any ideas please.  TB has been running fine for months.
However on shutting down LL2.0, Thunderbird screen briefly appears during shut off routine?

Hello all

I'd find LL very interesting, and I'd download it both versions allready (32 and 64bits).  I plan to install it (or try it) on diferents systems and I had see that ISOs are small enoght to fit in one dvd.  So I want to ask to someone, if there is a way to prepare a DVD with both installations?

Thank you.
