usb thumb drive

Once the iso file is completely downloaded, the iso.part will disappear.

From then, you can use usb-creator (under Sytem > Administration (I think) to use your iso to create a live USB (at least 1 GB) with or without a persistent section (use the maximum as a persitent section on the usb drive to save data and configuration files)

It is pretty easy. Just plug-in your usb drive and it will be recognized and formatted if necessary (if full of data, to be blanked).

if you have .part the download may not have completed. You now need to MD5 test the ISO to make sure its consistant and complete. If not you will need to redownload the file

Once downloaded you can use usb-creator

sudo apt-get install usb-creator

and create a bootable USB stick

If your system is currently windows based (or yuo have a windows system) you can use this:

Thank you but will I still have two files on desktop? do I need to only use one? Looks like one is complete and the other is .part
