Installing Mageia 4 from usb

Postby yencc5211 » Aug 25th, '14, 06:18

Hello, I am new to linux and I an trying to install mageia 4 onto my laptop via usb. My laptop currently uses linux mint 17 as its OS. I cannot seem to get the usb to boot. The searching I've done just tells me to use isodumper, but I haven't the slightest idea on where to find or how to use it. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

are you trying to use the Mint "usb image writer " to write your usb?

Well, isodumper should be this one: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/IsoDumper_Wr ... USB_sticks
But that's a good question, thanks for pointing out :)
