Agreed!
Lots of good info to be found via google, forums & discussion groups specific to this OS.

Good if we can keep freelist as CBM related.

I hate to discourage conversation, but honestly, this is way off topic for this list and frankly much too complex a topic to attempt through email alone.

Thanks folks,

    Hi Brian,


    What I really wanted to do was upgrade my Linux Ubuntu 9.10 to
    Ubuntu 16.04.2. I have already downloaded the ISO file into my
    Downloads directory. What should I do next?


    Cheers,

    Marlon S.

    An ISO image can be written to USB flash to boot, rather than
    writing out to CD/DVD media

    Getting an ISO file onto a USB drive isn't as easy as copying the
    file. Here's a complete tutorial on how to burn an ISO to USB
    (like a flash drive).

    Hi Marlon -

    I see you have given up installing this but the .iso in the file
    name would indicate that this is a CD image and needs to be
    burned to a CD.

    Does your computer have the ability to boot from a CD to install
    the CD data onto the hard drive?

    I recently downloaded Ubuntu-16.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso into my
    Downloads dir, but I'm not sure how to install it into my HP
    desktop system. I just got a 64 GB HP flash drive, so maybe that
    will help. Please advise me on this. Thank you.
