Live Zorin OS USB (Not Live USB & Installer)

Installing Zorin OS
#29

Since I have never enabled secure boot in any of my laptops and desktops, I cannot say anything about your observation. I hope someone with a knowledge of secure boot can pitch in here.

Secure Boot comes pre-enabled and it's damned annoying
to say the least...

As my new flash drives are to arrive (8 of them) soon do you recommend formatting them for ext4 also or does it matter ????

Thanks

#34

Fat 32 is the format to use for the installer USB.

ext4 is for the HDD/SSD where OS is installed.

I see your avatar is metamorphosing everyday like a real frog.
:frog:

I just wanted to add that sometime the manufacturers give you a free software (Windows only, of course) or user manual on the USB key.
It is better to reformat USB key before use even it is already in FAT32.

I also recommend you to run F3 app to confirm the real capacity of the keys, especially if they are large capacity ones.

Thanks again .... I was wondering about the software the manufactures but on these drives if they are necessary or not ... I used to copy the files to another location and then add them back when I was finished formatting ... LOL

I love your frog photo in your post hope you don't mind if I capture him and put him to good use ?????

It is not a photo.
Type ": frog :" (remove quotation marks and spaces) and see what you will get.

Talented part leaves a room for discussion but I do use Windows, macOS (Hackintosh on self-built PC) and Linux.

I left Japan quite a while ago.
Lived in North America for a while then moved to France (as my handle indicates).
