Potential Replacement for XP.

[ETP]

Did the F2 business OK.

1. Now attempting to install Manjaro in "Advanced Installation Mode" [so as to be given the choice to install to the Flash Drive].

2. Got as far as the display of available drives->partitions.
a. Highlighted/selected the 8GB ext4 partition on the Flash Drive.
b. Chose "Lexar USB Flash Drive [8GB] (/dev/sdc)" in the drop-down window.
c. Ticked the box = "Use this device for bootloader installation".

3. The "Install now" button is greyed out, and nothing I do changes that.
Hence, clicking it has no effect, and install won't proceed beyond that step/window.

Hi,
You need to set the mount point before it will become enabled. Make absolutely certain that nothing related to sda is ticked.
Root will as a matter of course need formating again. (ext4) The installer will do that. You will get a final sanity check and the option to abort.

So what should I choose/set as the mount point?
Should the boot flag be set?

1.See my previous post to you:

2. Grub2 will set the boot flag.

SUCCESS!

1. I'm typing this from within the new Manjaro installation booted from the ext4 partition filling the 8GB Flash Drive.
Now to go exploring.
