Unfortunately, burning images to USB or DVDs is beyond the scope of this manual. The Ubuntu website has several guides
2016-09-25 16:41:27 -05:00
on this topic, and we recommend you read them if you plan on doing this.
Guides from the Ubuntu website:
- `How to burn a DVD on Ubuntu <http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/burn-a-dvd-on-ubuntu> `_
- `How to burn a DVD on Windows <http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/burn-a-dvd-on-windows> `_

- `How to burn a DVD on macOS <http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/burn-a-dvd-on-mac-osx> `_

For writing images to USB drives on Linux, we recommend `mkusb <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb> `_ , a tool developed by a Lubuntu team member.

With your media inserted, reboot your computer. Depending on your hardware configuration, it may boot into the image right away, or you might need to press a key at startup for boot options. This varies but looking for documentation specific to your hardware will likely provide the answer.
