BookwormPup 32 bit Installer Issue

Post by CpRivers »

I downloaded BookwormPup 32 bit but it just boots up to a GRUB prompt. I did the following:
Downloaded twice.
Created USB boot 3 times.
Tried installing on a 32 bit computer and a 64 bit computer. It always boots to the grub menu.

The 64 bit version runs OK.
Any suggestions on why it won't run the installer?

Thanks for any help.

Created USB boot 3 times.

So you are trying to do a Live USB install or a frugal install with a boot loader you install?

Exactly how did you do this?

Give specific full details?

No way to know if you did something wrong, if do not know exactly what you did?

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.

This is not what I expected :o

Thanks Bigpup but I explained exactly what I did. The USB drive that I created just boots to GRUB.

There are about 10 different ways to do an install to a USB drive and at least 6 different programs to use to do the install.

So you have provided nothing useful for info to help you.

Post an image of what files are on the USB.

At least that will tell use if it is a live install or some other type.
