Re: Clinic Dec. 15 , 2019
You are correct! I visited the clinic yesterday, Sunday, and Wes loaned me
a USB flash drive to complete the task.
In the process working on this problem, I discovered the following truths:
1. When using Rufus to create a bootable USB disk drive, the options given

I was afraid that there wasn't a built in CD/DVD player. Yes, a USB
attached DVD player will look the same as a USB thumb drive. No relief

Hi Rich
Thanks for the reply.
The version of Clear Linux OS that I downloaded is indeed the Live Desktop
DVD disc.
The BIOS is itself the culprit of this dilemma.
And I'm curious about whether or not this is a trend.
As Microsoft becomes more and more disliked for their operating systems.

Hi Tom
Thanks for answering. It is the Escape key. It does the same thing though.

Neil,
While you tried to boot a distro from a USB flash drive for installation,
have you tried a live distro, such as Knoppix, on a USB flash drive? I

I had the pleasure with this laptop in distant past. I hope that I remember
things correctly.

key.
2. It wouldn't boot from media not signed by MS. At

Russell there is no error message. The BIOS menu offers no option for

What is the failing behavior? Does anything show up on the screen, any
messages?
Fwiw, I had trouble with a particular brand of USB drive (the no-name
bamboo-cased $5 8GB drives available from MultCoLib), but switching to
random swag from OSCON worked. Even in the failing case, I got some

Hello PLUG Happy Holidays
This question is for the clinic staff
I have a laptop that I would like to get Clear Linux OS on, and I've been
unable to do that by booting from USB. Does the clinic offer help with
installing a different way? i'm imagining that you would be able to open up
my laptop and
