Re: [LUG] Desktop Linux

 

Hi All

Received the HP yesterday and it is a nice bit of kit. Excited about
getting it up and running but had to wait until this evening.

I used dd to create a bootable usb flash drive. The HP boot sequence
has an item detailed as USB Device Boot Priority but in the Boot
Device Priority doesn't list it. The HP doesn't have a DVD/CD drive
installed, so I assumed I could use the usb flash drive but it doesn't
recognise it.

Do I have to get a dvd drive installed please? Or is there some way of
booting from a flash drive please?

Thanks
