Having looked around on the web resources available for Simplicity Linux, I haven't seen any really basic instructions for how to set it up to run from a USB stick under Windows (10 in my case). There seems to be an assumption that everyone knows how to set up a USB stick to be bootable. I have never set anything up for booting from a USB drive, so I haven't a clue.

I gather one would download the iso file to a USB drive. But then what? Basic instructions, or a link to such instructions, would be very much appreciated.

Hi Peter,

The easiest way to create a bootable USB for Linux distros is to use Rufus (https://rufus.akeo.ie/). It's free and very easy to use.

cheers,
Derek
