Here are my notes, hope you find them useful:- Trusty Tahr lubuntu alternate 14.04.2 files SUMMARY ======= Creating an install USB flash drive using UNetBootIn 603-1 is broken. The rest of this message details how to overcome this. After installing lubuntu, tried a few apps. Firefox has 1 problem - when you are browsing the net, URLs in the address bar are solid black and grey rectangles. I think that I've come across that problem before. Tried a couple of other apps (file manager, paint) and they seemed OK Ran Software Updater and there were no updates to be applied. DETAIL ====== Put onto ORANGE USB memory stick.
