Hi Peter, On booting it says: ROM BIOS PLUS Version 1.10 A07 and manjaro .x89_64 kde so I guess it's a 64 bit program. Is that enough information? I tried getting the information from the terminal window again but couldn't. I could go to that place on booting that provides information. If it's not enough information, could you please tell me what I am looking for? I would like to run it off DVD. My computer's I buy I don't have a hard disk in them I just run the operating system off DVD or maybe it's a CD but I think it's a DVD. I do this on purpose so that hackers and people who spread malware have a harder time with me. I also don't run the operating system off a stick so that hopefully such people have another roadblock. Also I would probably like a Manjaro Operating System again if possible. I think Tom told me that to suggest that I could put multiple operating systems on the same stick and if one didn't work then another hopefully would. Maybe a few could be put on a stick and one on disc that you think would work and those two items sent out in the same package. Thanks again Peter. On 2021-09-13 14:37, Peter Reutemann wrote:
I am not quite sure why it didn't work. First I tried to copy and paste then I typed it leaving what I thought were a couple of possible spaces and then I left no spaces but I couldn't get it to work. When I next boot up I will write some more info down and post it here.
The command consists of the following parts (which need to be separated by spaces, all on one line). I'll give a quick explanation of each part:
* cat
* prints the content of a file in the terminal
* /proc/cpuinfo
* special file maintained by the kernel with CPU information
* >
* redirects the output into a file
* ~/cpuinfo.txt
* the file to receive the output (~ is shorthand for your Linux home directory)
Tom Butz sent me an email saying that there are many operating systems
that can be put on USB stick and run in memory.
Yes. Since most modern computers come without CD/DVD drives, these "live images" are usually transferred onto USB sticks rather than CDs or DVDs.
This Manjaro that I am presently running is Illyria 18.0.
Do you know whether you are running a 32 or 64bit version? You can run the following command in a terminal: uname -i
On my 64bit Linux Mint, this outputs the following:x86_64
A 32bit version, if I remember correctly, should output something like this: i686
One last comment: are you looking at installing the Linux distro on your desktop's hard drive or do you just want to boot Linux from CD/DVD/USB stick?
