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?
