[xubuntu-users] Old Computer
I have an old computer that I am trying to convert from Windows 10 to Ubuntu or Xubuntu. Are there any recent versions of either that come with an installation CD (64-bit) instead of a DVD? My computer does not have an DVD drive.

Hi Ken, with an installation CD (64-bit) instead of a DVD? if you can burn a CD you can get a CD-iso from here: releases.ubuntu.com/bionic/ for example -- Viele Grüße, Hartmut Hungerhilfe: http://www.thehungersite.com Das heutige Motto: Pubertät ist, wenn die Eltern anfangen, seltsam zu werden. -- xubuntu-users mailing list xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users

If you can download the .iso on another machine and write a bootable USB this may be easier and faster than a CD.

Re: [xubuntu-users] Old Computer
Ken, Also take a look at Alternate Installations at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation Alliteratives include using a thumb drive, CD, and (probably) minimal followed by completion of install over a network connection. I have found Rufus useful for making bootable ISOs under Window$. Search first for installations on your make / model. I just have up on a Dell with a weird boot issue. Linux ran in live mode from DVD as well as a thumb drive. After installation to the HD, would not boot. If you intend to dual boot, shrink the Win partition using Win disk management tools. If you partition manually, don't delete the small efi partition at the beginning of the disk. -- Roger Broseus Pls excuse auto-correction induzed tiepos. -Original Message- From: Ken Traynham To: xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Sent: Thu, 21 Feb 2019 3:18 AM Subject: [xubuntu-users] Old Computer I have an old computer that I am trying to convert from Windows 10 to Ubuntu or Xubuntu.

No USB? You may try LXLE 16.04 too, I use it on an old netbook and it works really fine On 20/02/19 10:08, Ken Traynham wrote: I have an old computer that I am trying to convert from Windows 10 to Ubuntu or Xubuntu.
