No, the image works, it has a problem bringing up the full graphical part on a an old pc with very little RAM and video memory on its 586 option (it has both a 64 and 32b live parts) and are both jessie based.

Burn the ISO image to optical media and boot that. Tough luck, the one machine has no such thing, the ill box has its cd player jammed shut with a CD in it from 13 years ago that plays fine on live jessie >2.

Again the question is not so much at the vendor's magic system but why would a 0.6G image rent the rest of the disk useless for copying stuff in and out, which I have done with many live systems. >David Have a nice day kAt
