    I know absolutely nothing of linux. I've been googling for hours upon hours about how to install this from a flash drive to no avail. All the tutorials I've seen require another computer running Linux. If any of you know how to do it, please let me know. Links are perfect too.

    Download syslinux

    Unzip

    Code:
    d:\wherever-you-saved-the-folder\syslinux-X.XX\syslinux.exe -f E:
    (X.XX is the version and E: is your USB device)

    Download these 3 things

    Create a text file called "syslinux.cfg" (no quotation marks) and type in the 2 following lines:
    Code:
    default vmlinuz
    append initrd=initrd.gz

    Now get either the Deabian CD iso or the netinst and put the iso file on your USB.

    Restart your computer and when the BIOS is loading, press esc or f12 or whatever the BIOS config key is and allow USB startup.

    There you go, now just install Debian. ^_^

    Patrick wants you to add him as a friend on Steam, but he's too afraid to ask you himself.
