md5sum at this link: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/14.04.1/release/MD5SUMS You md5 does indeed match the posted one! If you have a flash disk, and your computer is already running Lubuntu, you can boot from the flash disk in GRUB. You can boot from the ISO itself https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot or you can boot from a startup disk directly. Here is a quick example. Enter the grub command line by pressing 'c' you need to find the flash disk from Grub type in: set root=( push TAB to see a list of the available options you will end up using something like: set root=(msdos1,1) next load the kernel with the boot options linux /casper/vmlinuz boot=casper noprompt noeject quiet slpash this takes a little time, so be patient. Now you need to load the initial ram disk. initrd /casper/initrd.lz this one can take a lot more time than loading the kernel, so be patient once that has loaded type in: boot There you have it! Boot from USB on a computer that wont do it! I have done this many times, as I have had the same issue. :) -- Regards
