Not clear to me :-)

In The Wiki, Burn ISO to USB stick , we read

Pictorial guide how to use the Gnome Disks Utility tool to burn an iso file to create a bootable USB stick to install PMOS.

With your USB inserted, open Gparted and wipe the contents of the USB. ..........................

Which is it < Gnome Disks > or < GParted >, as Gparted does not have the 3 dots you are referring to.

Hi OldTon, I see the confusion, someone forgot to mention to close Gparted after creating the new MSDOS partition table and open Gnome Disks Utility tool.

Hi alynur ,
Thanks for clarifying.
Now it's clear to me.
I haven't made a liveusb this way, as I created mine another way a month ago.
Maybe this week !
Again, thanks

I want to get back to using Peppermint, after 2 years break. When i create a bootable usb drive, and boot from it, it opens, but when i click the Peppermint live, option, the os disappears.I have installed many Linux Distros over the last few years, and currently, if i create a Live bootable drive for Mint, or Zorin, it gives me the option to boot in compatability mode, and works fine. Peppermint does not seem to have that option, which i need, because my Motherboard is MSI, I dont have a external Graphics card, so i cant boot in CSM mode.I am sure many other people who would like to use Peppermint have this situation. Is there any way to install Peppermint, in this situation.?

Hi,

Thankyou for your response. I am not a technical expert,on hardware, but i think i see your system has 2 x Graphic cards. (Motherboard and External) which enables you to switch to CSM mode Bios. I only have the Integrated Graphics of the Motherboard. So i know why i cant Boot Peppermint. But other Linux OS, that i use, MINT and ZORIN, have recovery mode, i cant boot into either ,unless i boot in recovery mode. Which is fine, is not a problem. Also the install action, is done by selecting, "install in compatability mode", which works fine. But Peppermint does not have either of these options for install, or booting, . Why.??? My other OS,s UBUNTU, and XUBUNTU, are signed with microsoft ,so no problem either. So my point is,, Peppermint is being resurrected, by a company that seems to be professional, but it has these , What i regard as major deficiencies. If you can direct to the way i can actually inform the Peppermint management about this, i would appreciate it..

Regards, Wayne
