Re: Create Mint LiveUSB from Windows using a GUI (UNetbootin)
Is Unetbootin supposed to be persistant ? I have tried using it many times and my installs are not persistant......so pretty much useless !

also ctrl-alt-del should bring up the quit menu (with logout / switch user / restart / shutdown icons) Yes, that is what I did until I became tired of the Quit option not working.

Re: Installing Problem
I can not help you with your problem, but before an expert drops by you will need to provide your computer specifications, then they will be able to help, I hope......Maybe a kernel panic ?

Re: Uninstall Linux
I would download the Gparted Live CD partitioner and wipe out that partition with it. Reformat it with a fat file system, and then throw in some pictures and music files, so on and so forth, make it look like you are using it for storage, and keep your fingers crossed.
good luck,

Re: Help so I don't screw this up
One does not need any special software to edit the Menu.lst, any text editor is fine. Just comment out by using the # in front of anything you do not want to see in the grub menu when booting. I would not uninstall any kernel until you are sure the updated one is stable. Just comment out the lines o...
