Install Problem

[gold_finger]

rokytnji beat me to it -- was going to say same thing.  You can download LL 2.2 ISO file to your LL 2.0 desktop computer; then install Unetbootin to desktop and use that to make a live USB of LL 2.2 and install to laptop from that.  (This all assumes that your internet access is not limited and that you're able to download the ISO file.)

Here's some written instructions if you need them.

1.  Download LL 2.2 (32-bit) ISO to your desktop computer.

2.  Plug in blank USB stick (1GB or larger).  If not blank, save important things on it somewhere else, then:

• Go to Menu -> System -> Partition Drives to open GParted.
  
• Switch to USB stick using drop-down box in upper right corner (will probably be /dev/sdb)
  
• You'll then see partition(s) of USB in the window.
  
• Right-click, choose "Unmount" if that's an option; then right-click again and choose "Delete"
  
• Hit "Apply" button along top, or go to Edit -> Apply All Operations
  
• Go to Device -> Create Partition Table -> "msdos" -> OK to make new partition table on it
  
• Right-click the "unallocated" space (should be whole drive now), choose "New" to make new partition
  
• Leave all values shown in boxes on left side as they are
  
• On right side, "Create as" = Primary Partition, "File System" = FAT32, "Label" = LinuxLite
  
• Click "Add", then hit the "Apply" button again.
  
• Close GParted
  

3.  Make sure USB stick is mounted before using Unetbootin.  Just open file manager and click to open the USB.  There won't be anything on it, but doing that will mount it.  Close file manager after mounting.

4.  Install Unetbootin to desktop.  Just open a terminal and enter: sudo apt-get install unetbootin

5.  Start Unetbootin, (Menu -> System -> Unetbootin), go to bottom section of the window and:

• click "Diskimage" button
  
• click "..." box, then navigate to your downloaded ISO file and select it
  
• "Space used to preserve files ... " -- can leave at 0, or go up to 4096MB.  (Since you're just planning to use this for installing and not for consistent re-use, recommend you don't bother setting persistence file -- just leave at 0.)
  
• Type should be "USB Drive"; Drive = device name for USB stick (probably /dev/sdb or sdc)
  
• Click "OK" when everything is ready, then wait until it completes.  This will take a few minutes (or more if you set persistence also) and at some points it make "look" like it has stalled.  Just keep waiting and it will tell you when it's done.
  
• Might ask you if want to reboot with USB when complete.  Answer "NO" to that and just close Unetbootin window.
  
• Can't remember if the USB will still be in mounted state at end of process or not.  Open file manager and look for it on left side.  Right-click it and choose "Unmount" or "Eject" before you unplug the USB.
  

6.  With laptop powered OFF, plug USB stick into one of the slots.

7.  As rokytnji stated, power on laptop and hit the Esc key to bring up boot menu that you can select USB from.  (This can be tricky sometimes.  You may need to hold Esc down for a second, release, then hold, release, etc. before it triggers the boot menu.  A few tries may be necessary before you get the hang of it.)

8.  Select the USB, then you'll see a Unetbootin boot menu.

9.  Just leave it on "Default" and wait for the countdown to finish.  (May be a slight delay after countdown too.)  Continue to wait and it should just automatically start loading LL, which make take a minute or two to finish.

10.  Once loaded, you'll be on the LL desktop and can test out running a few programs to make sure it works well on the laptop.  (Pretty sure it will have no problems.)

11.  When satisfied all looks good, start the installer from icon on desktop.

12.  Follow prior instructions to wipe out what's on the hard drive now, or just tell installer to use the whole disk and it will do that for you.
