Well done WytWun! Finally, I managed to boot Xubuntu 18.04 64bit into my very stubborn Ollee laptop from my USB stick. And more cause to celebrate, I've got sound again.
Whilst installing (albeit until LL 4.0 is available) I got this message:
The installer has detected that the following disks have mounted partitions
/dev/mmcblk3, /dev/sda
Do you want the installer to try to unmount the partitions on these disks before continuing? If you leave them mounted, you will not be able to create, delete, or resize partitions on these disks, but you may be able to install to existing partitions there.
l went into GParted and checked the status of all partitions and it states all partitions are not mounted (??), so that has me scratching my head. I'm now looking for further direction. I have other questions:
1. Rather than wait for the release of LL 4.0, is there a risk if I try to install LL 4.0 Beta?
2. Would it be better to install on the eMMC drive (assuming the install allows me) or should I try to install on the built in SD card? Etcher claims it can burn safely to SD cards but can LL 4.0 be installed permanently on a SD card?
3. Will GRUB take over the booting process in the normal manner? I just hope I don't find myself in a situation where there is no booting option for Windows.
Sorry for sounding pedantic but I'm not confident about proceeding because this installation is different to what I'm acquainted with. Thanks.
