[xubuntu-users] Xubuntu 12.04 LTS and 14.04 LTS

[George DiceGeorge]

First download the .ISO file to your hard disk.
Then use your computer's software
to make a bootable CD from the ISO

Then insert the CD and reboot the machine.

It may be necessary to twiddle the BIOS settings early on in
in a blue screen in the bootup
to tell it  boot from CD

Then run Ubuntu from the live CD
(it will be very slow)
and see if the internet, sound etc work.

Only if it all works then consider installing it

FAO Steven Verner,

Could you possibly post a step by step idiot's guide to making a disk for
ubuntu by using the direct download for 32 bit which you mention.  Please
could you assume that I know nothing because you wouldn't be far wrong!

Thanks

Gordon

Yes, there is an alternate install.  Here is your direct download for 32
bit.

  http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso

Burn to CD like normal and there will be an option to install Xubuntu
Desktop (among others) during installation.
