Hi Folks,
I would like to try the Debian realease of Mint from USB stick. The iso download is for dvd so even though i have burned a bootable usb stick with this iso it won't boot.
I have also done and md5 check but I can't seem to find the checksums on the mint website.
P.S. I am trying to avoid anything ubuntu as it cause boot up problems on my ASUS netbook.
Many thanks for any help,
nictu.

Re: Would like to try Mint Debian from USB Stick
What program are you using to burn the iso to USB?

Hi,
I used unetbootin to create the usb drive.

Using 'unetbootin' should work just fine -- at least it has for me in the past. Have you tried burning another distro with the same app and attempting to boot it the same way?
There is nothing more dangerous than a bored cat.
Re: Would like to try Mint Debian from USB Stick
I've never gotten UNetBootin to work to actually make a bootable usb, the only program I use to write an iso is ImageWriter (usb-imagewriter) it hasn't failed me once.
Hope I understand what you mean about checksums (still a super linux and computers in general newb)

And I understand wanting to stay away from Ubuntu, any Ubuntu based OS (sadly including the Main Linux Mint) has always hated every computer I've owned.
Hope that helps somewhat

Unetbootin works fine with every debian distro, including Mint LMDE. I`m posting from LMDE Mate on a usb flash drive created using Unetbootin.

There isn't a lot of info to go on about why the install failed. The USB installers work fine, in general, though, so the problem is likely at your end.
I simplify everything and just install straight to the sticks, now, as if they are external hard drives.
Don't mess up your MBR doing this, however.
