I have heard that you can use some Android app that lets a bootable ISO work as such. However I have absolutely no real knowledge of its use or viability/effectiveness

first five minutes of vid show "how to install linux"

#

i meant with the phone just as a storage and then atach it via usb a to usb c and thx

#

so just klick a random 1 in your country?

#

if you mean saving an ISO from the website, yes choose any country server

#

and the phone as usb dous that work

#

you have more nolage about this then me

robust blaze
#

yea but just from files

supple bloom
#

no

robust blaze
#

oh

#

the boot medium needs BOOT CODE in special place in order for a computer to treat it as a bootable device, and attempt to start an OS from it

robust blaze
#

so data tranfer (i think thats what its kaled ) wont work?

supple bloom
#

nah

#

burn a DVD or prepare a blank USB as I linked earlier

robust blaze
#

dont have that Xp

supple bloom
#

alternate way is LAN-boot, but you need second computer to host

robust blaze
#

the phone is all i have to do it

supple bloom
#

and the computer you want to install Linux on must connect by ethernet cable

robust blaze
#

which do you recomend etchdroid (no root) or drive droid (requies root)

supple bloom
#

I believe etchdroid is to make a usb - from the smartphone

#

so u need a usb stick, plus port adapter

#

drive droid is the app i first mentioned

robust blaze
#

whats root btw

supple bloom
#

idk if it means your phone has to be rooted /jailbroken

#

can ask in #💬general if anyone knows about drivedroid
