Clean single OS Installation

I am building a small system which will only have Zorin as the OS. I downloaded the .iso file on a Windows 7 box and created a bootable USB drive with UNetbootin. I then booted the new system with the USB stick and get a grub command line... This is different than the installation instructions on the web page. Am I missing a step? How do I install the OS from grub (having never used it before)?

Thanks.

Hi, sadly I ditched Unetbootin in favour of MultiSystem 3 - downside - for you - is it only runs on a GNU/Linux install. Can you not burn a DVD?

I can and did. I took the .iso download and burned it to a DVD but upon trying on the new system the media is not bootable. The DVD burning software can make the disk bootable by adding a boot loader - which would bring me back to GRUB.

What is the GRUB command which will start the install?

Thanks.

If you want to install via text mode then I would advise following decalman's excellent tutorial in this thread:

The text mode isn't an option as I don't get to the point where I can enter F6.

I decided to download the recommended CD Burner software and create a new DVD from the .iso file. This time the system recognizes the DVD and boots into the Zorin LiveDVD application. I am currently running the installation program. Apparantly the first burner software package didn't work properly.

Thanks for taking the time to respond to my posts.

No worries - glad to be of help!
