One of the advantages of using Ubuntu is that we can "try" it without installing it on our PC. This system is usually called Live system, LiveCD (via CD), or LiveUSB (using USB). Imagine that we can use it on every PC (which is compatible, for sure). And what's even cooler is that we can access files on that PC. Cool, right?
To try Ubuntu via CD or flashdisc, we have to own Linux CD or we have to make our flashdisc to be Linux-bootable. How? On this post, I want to share about a program which can help you make your flashdisc to be Linux-bootable. The name of the program is LiLi, or Linux Live USB Creator. Check the tutorial below...
What are the things that you have to prepare?
1. Flashdisc for sure, with 1GB of minimum capacity. Move all of the data from the flashdisc, because it will be formatted later
2. LiLi USB program, you can download it here. Then install it on your Windows PC
3. ISO distro Linux file. Ubuntu, for example. You can download it here. Choose the server location whiches closer with your location, to make the download process faster.
The steps for creating Ubuntu-bootable flashdisc
Open the LiLi program, this is how it looks like...
STEP 1: CHOOSE YOUR KEY
Choose your flashdisc drive
STEP 2: CHOOSE A SOURCE
Choose the ISO/IMG/ZIP icon. Then select the ISO file that you have downloaded. LiLi will correct that ISO file and show a success message if there is no mistake
ISO/IMG/ZIP
ISO Ubuntu file or another Linux
Checking first, then ready
STEP 3: PRESISTENCE
For now, just skip this step, or let it on its default settings. What is presistence? Presistence will create virtual saving media on your flashdisc. The function is for saving file when using LiveUSB. Of course this presistence also needs more space in flashdisc
STEP 4: OPTIONS
Give checklist on "Hide created files on key" and "Format the key in FAT32". Uncheck the last option "Enable Launching LinuxLive in Windows"
Give checklist on the first and second options only
Before step 5:
Recheck all the settings, if needed, from the first
STEP 5: CREATE
Click the lightning icon to begin process. LiLi will give warning if there's something wrong, don't worry
WAIT UNTIL FINISH
After finished, there will be "Your LinuxLive key is now up and ready" notice
After you have done installing, you have to restart your PC or laptop and change the main booting into USB drive or CD room. If you do not change it, it will be back again to Windows. To enter the booting menu, press the F2, F5, or F9, depends on your PC or laptop. The process will take time around 10-15 minutes. Then, it is up to you whether you only want to try or install it.
