I have downloaded the F35 .iso, verified it and used dd to put it on a
flash drive. If I insert it into one of the laptop's two USB ports and
turn it on, it goes directly into the BIOS, and if I exit that, it goes
right back in until I pull the drive. If I use the other port, it
appears to work correctly, at first. I let it verify itself and that
passed. When I let it boot, it looked like it was working normally, but
hung. I tried again, removing the rhgb quiet from the command line. It
looked like it was working, but when it started checking the USB ports,
it couldn't make them respond, and attempts by it to reboot failed as it
kept looping through that section of boot until I held down the power
key for several seconds.
Now, remember that when I picked it up, it had booted off of a flash
drive and was running just fine. (No, I don't know what distro,
probably Xubuntu.) I've tested the drive on my desktop and it boots
with no problems and multiple attempts to download an Ubuntu .iso have
failed. I can't talk to the techs right now because they're only open a
few nights a week. I'm going to try using a netinstall, but I've never
done that before, so I'd appreciate a little guidance or a pointer to
directions, both of what to do to get installed, and what I'll need to
do when that's finished.
I'd also like to thank everybody who's tried to help me with this both
for what you've done and what you will do in the future, as most of this
has been terra incognito for me.
