    Hi Everyone!

    I have a AA1 XP version and I would like to try the Linux Limpus.

    I have downloaded the .iso of lite linpus from their website and installed it on a usb key using unetbootin.

    After rebooting and booting from the usb key, any option I take (Including Live CD) will eventually crash and I an not able to go the limpos.

    Any ideas how to have a LiveUSB version of Limpus working with a USB flash drive?

    Thanks!

    BTW, I tried ubuntu from the distribution of unetbootin and it works perfectly.

    No, that Linpus lite won't boot from a unetbootin created USB.
    Howevr, a couple of people have created images and/or given instructions to get the Acer version working from USB. Do a quick search of the forums for something like linpus from USB or similar and you should find them.

    Unfortunatly, I did not find anything related to my question..

    The closest I have found is this: viewtopic.php?f=47&t=3043&p=37401#p37401 however it's to installed it in dual boot. I only want to have it on a USB stick.

    Thx
