Chapter 1.2: Booting the image
|
|
|
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now that you have the ISO file, you need to put the image on media of some sort and boot the image for installation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**This requires additional research on your own, as this varies depending on your hardware.**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Choosing the media
|
|
|
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
|
In order to boot the image, you need to put it somewhere. You have three choices, depending on which image you
|
|
|
|
|
downloaded:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.
|
|
|
|
|
- a CD (**only works with the alternate images**)
|
|
|
|
|
- a DVD
|
|
|
|
|
- a 1 GB (or greater) USB drive
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Writing/burning the image
|
|
|
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
Here are some common tools to burn images onto CDs/DVDs:
|
|
|
|
|
- `Brasero <https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Brasero/>`_
|
|
|
|
|
- Windows Disc Image Burner
|
|
|
|
|
- InfraRecorder
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, burning images to CDs or DVDs is beyond the scope of this manual. The Ubuntu website has several guides
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Writing images to USB drives from macOS or Windows is beyond the scope of this book, but the Ubuntu website also
|
|
|
|
|
has several guides on this:

Booting the image
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**You have now booted the image. Please continue to Chapter 1.3.**
