Burning Linux Mint to USB Drive.
#1
I need to put Linux Mint onto my USB Drive so I can install it on my laptop. But I have no clue on how to do this, can someone help me out, please?

I'd appreciate it, a lot.

You don't "Burn" data to a USB, since it's replacable. That only happens with disks. Look into a program called "LiLi"

As I just said in my PM reply, I've just used LiLi and installed the Linux software to it, but how do I install it to my laptop now?

You don't install it to your laptop if you're trying to install it as a live boot on your USB. You boot from the USB.

SO I can't actually install it as my main OS on my laptop? I want to format my laptop and install Linux to it, and I have no CDs.

Ohh... well then why are you using LiLi to install a live boot to your USB? lol

You can have it as your main system, I wouldn't call Linux an OS, as it's more of a kernel, but Solidus uses Linux on his computer as his main. I remember him saying that he completely swiped Windows off his drive, and now he's using Arch. (Which I don't recommend for you because Arch at this point for you would be too complicated.)

*Just talk to me in this thread, if someone else has something to add it will catch them up on the discussion and keep my PM inbox clear. I have to go in about 5 mins to go camping.

Okay that's fair enough Ace, so would you suggest waiting until I get a CD? If so I can dig out my XP disk until then.
