Install and boot options

#1 Post by Tarq »

good greeting
I do not have a flash drive or any external media. What are my options for installation?

If you have any other Linux installed, you can create a custom entry for Grub, then start MX "fromiso" .

Unfortunately, there is no Linux installed on one of the partitions on the hard drive

What is the target machine?
HP 15; ryzen 3 5300U APU; 500 Gb SSD; 8GB ram
HP 17; ryzen 3 3200; 500 GB SSD; 12 GB ram
Idea Center 3; 12 gen i5; 256 GB ssd;

In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.

Though this is not what you asked, you can install and use it on VirtualBox on Windows.

And does the laptop also have an Operating System? And does it boot?
Please don't answer with just yes or no, rather give a bit more information
about the laptop which does "not have a flash drive or any external media."

This option is excluded because the virtual machine depends on the resources of the physical machine, which has poor performance

Yes, it contains a Windows 10 Pro operating system with a 32-bit architecture. The boot is fine and is currently booting from it. The target device contains hardware and physical components from external media ports. It is also compatible with the requirements of the target operating system.

That's not enough information. You don't call a mechanic to fix your car without telling him the make and model.
HP 15; ryzen 3 5300U APU; 500 Gb SSD; 8GB ram
HP 17; ryzen 3 3200; 500 GB SSD; 12 GB ram
Idea Center 3; 12 gen i5; 256 GB ssd;
