Linux Installation Media
Installation of a Linux distro onto the computer of your choice need not be a daunting task.
Installs can be done by any of a number of means . The most common currently is from a CD or DVD into an optical drive that can read it. For example if the install is larger one – then a dvd rather than CDRom might be used. DVD readers and burners can read both CDs and DVDs wheras the converse is not true. A Cd reader or burner can not read a DVD .
CDs hold 640 mb of capacity. This is equivalent to 640 old 1 mb capacity floppy discs. A DVD generally holds approx 4.4 gb ( 1000 mb ) of data. A DVD holds the equivalent data of almost 7 (seven ) CDs. It used to be that CDS were run of the mill and blank DVDs were a lot more expensive – both the blank and by equivalent capacity. However this is not the case now. A blank DVD is approx the cost of a CD. However DVDs are less durable and more easily scratch able. One little scratch on a DVD can mean a whole wasted exercise of doing the Linux install. Worse than that the failure from the media install disc can happen right at the end of the process – having you scratch your head at the wasted time.
CDs are more durable. However in the summer time just a little bit of deposited dirt or grime can cause the same Linux OS install failure as that of the DVD. The answer – simply wipe the CD clean with water – a bit of soap if necessary. Wash the CD clearly – especially the downwards side which is the side which gets read by the optical drive reader. Most important dry both sides of the media – but with a very soft towel or even sock. Do not use a paper towel or tissue. This may scratch the install media.
