Bittix linux

Download Bittixlinux9 from
I´ll tell you later where.

This is an old version and not updated.
Username: bittix
Password: bittixlinux9
It is based on debian wheezy.
It can ́t handle uefi boot.
It is live linux, boot system from old Slax.

Languages: Suomi (Finnish), English, Keyboards Finnish, English, Russian, Japanese.
Has OpenCPN gps chart plotter software with older USA marine charts.
Usually used with usb gps-receiver device.
And more.
On Windows install first e.g. rufus.exe from https://rufus.ie or etcher from https://etcher.balena.io , to be able to write the iso-file correctly to the
usb-stick.
On linux you can find similar programs but native linux versions like mintstick on Linux Mint, well in it that comes out of the box when installing Linux Mint.
Put the usb-memory-stick in computer and while booting press certain keys to be able
to choose the boot device or to change the order of devices in bios.
On HP laptops it is F10, on many others it is F2 or F12, sometimes the del key. I
recommend you google the info about your computer. Once you get into the bios
settings, while the usb-stick is in computer, change the boot order so that your usb-
memory stick is the first boot device.
If you first format the usb-stick on linux e.g. with Gparted you can to be certain to
activate the boot flag on the stick.

All said above applies to all linux install .iso files I know, and can be used to install also other
linux versions and distros.

Some times you have to make room on your harddrive for linux.
Usually that means shrinking the Windows C: partition.
This can be done with Gparted. Gparted is a linux program.
There is also a live linux distro called Gparted. It is small, you can use that to do the trick for Windows, if
you want to keep the Windows too. If you are using or upgrading to Windows 11, don't ever install linux as dualboot on the same machine as Windows 11, Windows 11 will break the boot menu. Instead you can install linux in place of Windows as the only os on the machine, but Bittixlinux9 can only be installed on a usb-stick, by burning the iso-image on it with rufus.exe or etcher or with linux program like mintstick or from command line commands, but that is only for advanced users.

The project pages are in https://sourceforge.net/projects/bittixlinux9/  .

 

 

Gparted distro is found from the https://www.distrowatch.com
