Booting from USB

[logan01]

I click on Lexar to see what's inside (Mint). When I click I get an error msg atop Dolphin. And whether I left / right click Lexar, I don't get the "safely remove device" in the drop down menu. Is that error msg any concern?

That was quick.

Looks good to me, assuming your USB is seen as /dev/sdb, which I think we established in another thread with lsblk or something.

Thanks. I'll run lsblk just to make double sure.

It will not ever show on the GRUB menu (unless you somehow edited that menu to make it show).

It would show up on the boot menu of rEFInd.

It will show up on the boot menu(s) of your firmware-BIOS-UEFI screens.

Thanks. It was only a hope. BIOS is easy enough.

Would you give this your ok please? sudo dd if=/home/richard/Downloads/linuxmint-17.3-cinnamon-64bit.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M && sudo sync

Once the stick is created, all is well, and the stick has been removed, pc shutdown and then powered up again with the stick reinserted, will the "stick" show on the Grub (black) boot options screen or does it get on the list via a change performed in BIOS, ........?

Thanks
