Hey. I've trawled through several searches, to no avail, so I apologise if this question has been previously answered.
I own a little Acer Aspire One with no cd drive (its a 10' notebook and was given it with operating system / AVG failure and wont boot windows), so I thought I'd put Linux on it. I have a C.D. with i386 - 32bit (as it is compatible with MOST things) which I've had running on a HP notebook of a friends, have created an iso with IMGburn, and created a bootable thumb drive (4gb Imation) with Rufus. When I boot from USB I am asked for akeyboard layout - no worries and then I get a command prompt (FeeDOS DISPLAY ver. 0.013). once I managed to get a very basic help screen that got me nowhere of use. The only thing I can get it to do is tel it a:\>drive which it chucks a hissy fit as this is not the USB drive and it is stuck at that.
Wondering what I've got wrong?
Any help would be muchly appreciated. Cheers.
Blake.
