USB boot?

How can I install Zorin using USB optical or flash?

One of my machines the older one has no USB option while the Dell lap has in BIOS/setup?

Heard that installs better?

The 64 bit Ubuntu install was a pathetic ...machine became non responsive.. Had to get RAMs flushed.

Installed W7 at last.

Maybe the machine is not 64 bit compatible??

Wolfman Swarf kindly provide an option for USB install vs default internal optical drive.

Thanks.

Once you have installed Zorin on your main machine, install MultiSystem 3 - not generally available but I posted it on here:

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=8933&hilit=+MultiSystem#p43425

Tutorial Video on how to install multi-system here - apologies for poor video quality - having some issues with Open Shot and voko screencorder:

If the old rig does not support boot from BIOS, but has a floppy drive, you need PLOPBOOT:
