Fwiw, I tried over and over to get it to boot from a medium in the tray -- which I neither downloaded nor burned from this machine. But I think it's not the image: no matter what I find to do in setup (in either setup, actually -- there seem to be two), the machine shows no sign of even knowing the medium is there. It just goes right into booting F 32. It's possible that I'm failing to recognize the commands, in either setup display, that will tell the machine to boot from a medium in its drawer. I tried opening and re-closing the drawer. The machine hadn't mounted the medium, and still didn't. Neither Disk Mounter nor gnome-disk sees anything in the drawer. Usermount launched by my user denies there is anything I'm allowed to mount nor unmount, and admonishes me to contact my administrator. As root, it pops up a box offering to let me unmount /boot; /boot is full of F 32 files, but shows nothing with 33 in its name. I have not yet tried burning the .iso to a thumb drive. If the lscpu result above doesn't mean doom, somebody please remind me how to do it, or where to re-read how! -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
