f) A pop-up window labelled: ISO Hybrid image detected will now open.Pay special attention to this in step (f) below.Į) Click START button (bottom right of the window). NOTE: With Rufus, the “ DD method” must be used when creating the Live USB, otherwise the live USB may fail/error during the USB boot process. Trust thy PC! C: Rufus (Windows 7/8/10 only) It will take a while to complete this command, so it may just be best to walk away and get a snack or some exercise while this step completes. Sudo dd if=/home/( username)/Downloads/bodhi-6.0.0-64.iso of=/dev/sdb d) From the data collected during the previous step, you can now execute the ‘dd’ command in the terminal:.If you have more than one physical hard drive in your PC, be sure you don’t overwrite that (or those) either. The previous step determined that /dev/sda is our 1000 GB hard drive, we do NOT want to enter that into the next step, or it will be over-written. Be VERY SURE that the device you type is NOT your PC’s hard drive. *** Do NOT overwrite your PC’s hard drive during this next step or you will very likely lose all data on your hard drive. From this information, you will now be able to use ‘ dd’ to create a live, bootable Bodhi USB drive. This output is telling you that a 2 GB Toshiba USB drive plugged in has been allocated as /dev/sdb.

NOTE: Is your PC only just meting the Minimal Hardware Specification? Take a look at the Minimal Spec FAQ, you will find answers to questions, comments on software alternatives (when system memory is limited) and successful installs against minimal hardware specs. After installation, you will find Bodhi runs reasonably well with 512MB RAM.Does your system meet these requirements? Check out which ISO image will best suit you/your hardware! With 512MB RAM, the Bodhi Linux installer will work, but it will work slowly. ** NOTE: The Bodhi installer runs best with more than 512MB of RAM (ideally 1GB or more). NOTE: ALL DATA WILL BE ERASED DURING THIS PROCESS!.– A USB drive that contains no important data.
