ISO images with two kernel versions are available:

• linux510 – with the latest LTS kernel
• linux54 – a slightly older LTS kernel that may better support some older hardware

Creating an Installation Medium

To create bootable USB on Windows we recommend using Rufus.

Linux users can use dd command.

sudo dd bs=4M if=/PATH/TO/ISO_FILE of=/dev/sd[drive letter] status=progress && sync

Where [drive letter] is the letter of your removable device. Please note that it is the device (e.g. /dev/sdb), and not the partition number (e.g. /dev/sdb1).

To find which drive letter it might be write:

sudo fdisk -l
