Hey, yeah, I'm psyched out trying that 'death and destruction' method. I would try it but I have a helluva time finding the usb drive and how to display it in the terminal with all the /dev/blahblahblah stuff. (It almost makes me want to go over to the other side!)
Now I'm using Startup Disk Creator. It just made me authenticate to install a boot installer and now it's calling the file "persistence." But this is what I did before and it didn't work. (I have no idea why I'm doing it again.)
The only thing that has worked so far has been burning an iso to a CD via K3b.
The Startup Disk Creator said it was making an ext2 in the file system. (I'm kind of giving you a play-by-play here.)
And get this, searching for your Image Writer I found this (see screenshot). I tried to find if from the Application Finder, the Applications list and the terminal. Does this (the "Disk Image Writer") look like the kind of thing you're talking about with the 'Image Writer' and if it is, happen to know how I might find it?
You know, I just tried it. It didn't work. And was very weird. I think the box may be goofy.
I pointedly put Bodhi 3.2 and yet Bodhi 3.1 showed up. (I thouoght maybe I'd left the CD in there but I hadn't. Well, anyway, since it's there I'm going to try and install it anyway. (Because the Xubuntu I had on there was all screwed up--I'd done all this deleting with that BleachBit and whenever I tried to do something in the terminal it was telling me I needed this or that.)
Anyway it looks like it's installing. Sorry about the novel.
You know what, it worked. I mean the Startup Disk Creator. I was thinking it was a 2 in the file name but it was 3
2bit. Ha.
