Hi,
> Hi - I've burnt the image to USB stick using Rufus as per wiki and am
Have you another machine you try booting it on ? It won't do any damage
and as long as it's the same architecture it should boot OK if the media
is good.
Another check you could try - if you have a Linux PC to hand is to install
the memory stick and mount the partitions and see what they look like.
Failing that, download an alternative image - use the netboot for instance
and see if you can boot from that.
I've never heard of Rufus (Rufus Wainwright's about as close as I get),
only ever used dd and never had any problems with it.
Regards,
D
