| [* icon_note] This is going to be your preferred option for most computers now. While you can use DVD media, it doesn't make sense unless you have to do so. ***The writing style does not mention DVD use at all. It's USB only.*** | |
| [* black] Get a USB flash drive. You should at least use an ***8GB*** drive. This will be future proof until Linux ISO files exceed this. If you can't afford one or you have a 4GB drive laying around, those work too. | |
| [* black] Download a program called [https://unetbootin.github.io/|Unetbootin] to get the program you will use for this. [https://rufus.akeo.ie/|Rufus] is another option if Unetbootin does not work. | |
| [* black] Run the program and select the flashdrive you want to use. ***This guide favors new drives, so there is not much in the way for flash drive reuse. You can format a drive if you go used if you want.*** | |
| - | [* icon_caution] ***Very important*** If you use a used drive, start with steps 5-7 and then work with steps 1-4. The writing style is intended for new flashdrives. |
