| Nivex | damnit. my new laptop has UEFI instead of BIOS | 17:07 |
|---|---|---|
| Nivex | I can't get it to boot a Linux installer for love nor money | 17:07 |
| Tracy_P | So no boot manager built in that you can bring up? | 17:14 |
| Nivex | I get the F12 to boot from other device, select my USB key and nothing happens | 17:15 |
| Tracy_P | have you tried a different USB key? I have one that works on one machine, but not another. Yet another that worked on both. | 17:15 |
| Nivex | Sadly I don't have one handy | 17:16 |
| Tracy_P | burn a cd? | 17:18 |
| Tracy_P | Or you run the distro off the key? | 17:19 |
| Nivex | new laptop has no CD drive | 17:20 |
| Tracy_P | I have a netbook like that. I borrowed a USB CD drive to install software to it once. | 17:28 |
| Nivex | ah, I hadn't realize usb-creator didn't wipe your USB stick anymore. I snagged another USB stick and am prepping it now | 17:29 |
| Tracy_P | it's an option isn't it? | 17:30 |
| Nivex | used to be it would wipe it. is optional now, yes | 17:32 |
| Nivex | we have bootage! | 17:35 |
| * Nivex crosses fingers on install | 17:35 | |
| akgraner | Nivex, yay! | 17:39 |
