Install GNU/Linux on a Legacy System

你所需要的

    • If you attempt to boot a 64-bit system on a 32-bit system, the system will halt and you will need the correct media.

    • For many older systems, there are very few resources available. Lubuntu is the best distro for many of these systems, due to the low RAM requirements. Zorin OS Lite is another good option.

    • Go to the Lubuntu website and find Download. Click on Desktop.

    • For all intents and purposes, most of these systems only support 32-bit distros. For systems with <3GB of RAM, download the 32-bit version. For systems with >3GB or more, download 64-bit (if your processor supports this).

    • This step will erase the USB drive you use. Use a new one or make a backup first!

    • Go to sourceforge.net and download win32diskimager.

    • Select the lubuntu ISO file that you downloaded previously.

    • select your USB flash drive and click Write.

    • If you choose to make Linux the only operating system you use, make a backup. You will lose all of your data if you do not multiboot your system!

    • The HP BIOS (F.0F) is from 2004. It is out of date due to a lack of working DOS update mechanism. There may be variations in more current revisions.

    • Reboot your computer and access the BIOS. To do this, press F2 or DEL. Note: Press F12 on Dell computers to access the one time boot menu.

    • Select (or change the boot order) to boot from your USB flash drive. Let the system boot.

    • Even if you do not plan on multibooting your system, make a backup or you may lose your data!

    • If you notice any hardware issues that cannot be corrected, you will need to replace components in your system. Your options may be limited by problems like a WiFi whitelist, commonly found on HP and Lenovo laptops.

    • Before installing Linux, test drive the distro and make sure everything works.

I'm trying to run mint live from a DVD on an HP Elitebook 8570w. It's legacy, and there is no boot order or any way to access it; it only shows Windows 10. How do I boot from DVD on this piece of junk?

Hi Michael, here's your machine's manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03..., which shows (p.72 - Multiboot section) how to change boot order and enable new boot devices. Please notice the bootable device you will create must be legacy-compliant on old BIOS systems, otherwise your PC won't be able to recognize it; vice-versa, in EFI/UEFI mode you won't be able to boot a legacy-compliant device unless Legacy Boot Mode/CSM is turned on. You may also want to try creating a bootable usb key, here's an excellent guide that will guide you through the process: USB Installation Media Creation
