[neon raven]

[high citrus]

we'll use that to properly shrink C: by 65 GB

maybe 68 GB

[neon raven]

running setup

[high citrus]

close disk management btw

[neon raven]

skip?

[high citrus]

skip

[neon raven]

installing

enjoy now

[high citrus]

so the linux ISO is where right now?

exactly

did u copy or move it?

[neon raven]

i copid

[high citrus]

ok so original one is in your user Downloads folder?

[high citrus]

or some other folder?

[neon raven]

yes

[high citrus]

because we will be deleting the b: partition soon

so make sure u have original ISO

[neon raven]

aw 🙁

[neon raven]

alright

[high citrus]

right-click c: here in the lines

and choose resize

[jade lynx]

[neon raven]

resize or move partition?

[high citrus]

resize/move

might be on same function

but we want to resize

[neon raven]

this is what showed up after cliocking

clicking*

[high citrus]

is this hard drive or SSD?

[neon raven]

ssd im running on ssd

[jade lynx]

my internet will return, at 00:35

currently its 21:44

[high citrus]

so tick the box for optimize for ssd

[neon raven]

right

two checks

[high citrus]

then grab the blue handle on right of block diagram and drag it inward

leave some for windows, maybe 1 or 2 GB

[neon raven]

how inward are we talking about

[high citrus]

hold on

some math

[neon raven]

alright

[high citrus]

230.11

lets say u want to leave 4 GB

wait, drag the slider as much left as it can go

then show it

[neon raven]

maximum left

i can't push it harder

[high citrus]

158.52 + 4

[neon raven]

56

[high citrus]

so adjust til it's 162.52

the size box

[high citrus]

good

click OK

then show main window

[neon raven]

there

[high citrus]

right click on B:

delete partition

it is extended partition, so it may have some extra steps

[high citrus]

quick method is fine

[neon raven]

whats that

is the setting good?

[high citrus]

just click OK

[neon raven]

after clicking ok:

[high citrus]

you should be left with an unallocated gap of 75.4 GB

ok click the orange bubble at top left

[high citrus]

click Apply

then pick restart in PE mode for it to let it do the job

[neon raven]

what pe mode

[high citrus]

proceed

it's preboot Windows mode.

[neon raven]

oh this is the pe mode

ill click ok

[high citrus]

click OK

[neon raven]

operation in progress

[high citrus]

this may take some time.. about 20 minutes

so dont touch anything

[neon raven]

right

[high citrus]

and make sure power is reliable

[neon raven]

afk

my chord is plugged in 👍

btw

if i installed linux

would all microsoft apps stay?

like the powerpoint

[high citrus]

yes. because you're going to install linux to the 75.4 GB empty place

plus you can also install alternative office suites on linux. it comes with LibreOffice, but you can also put WPS Office, which is pretty good

[neon raven]

wait, how can i transfer my games there? i want like linux for gaming

im on a phone rn

umm restart?

nvm it restarted on its own

im on windows again

im back

@high citrus

[high citrus]

u may restart

ok

so dont worry about games just yet

[neon raven]

im on windows

[high citrus]

that's something later. u will have to copy them to the linux OS or re-download them

ok show Aomei now

[high citrus]

lovely.

close it

[neon raven]

uhhhh

[high citrus]

so idk how unetbootin works but basically boot it up like before.

[high citrus]

click -sure to quit

[neon raven]

want me to do unetbootin again?

[high citrus]

basically

let it boot the ISO off of C: drive

like you did much earlier

[neon raven]

this is what it looks like when i did it

wait

does that mean my account is logged off on linux?

cuz we removed it right?

alright im gonna click ok now

[high citrus]

click OK

[high citrus]

it will be, yes

[neon raven]

fin

umm windows turned on storage sense

im lagging

[high citrus]

dont worry

it's just cuz limited space rn

[jade lynx]

[high citrus]

btw, earlier. you could have told him click the three dots to browse

if the ISO got put on the 7 gig partition (whatever drive letter, it was called New Volume before) then that's how it would have been chosen.

but now, we did it different.

[neon raven]

im on linux now

@high citrus

[high citrus]

kool

are you on Chrome?

you can get it from Software Manager too, I think.

[neon raven]

yes

[high citrus]

ok u put screenshot tool on panel?

[neon raven]

im on chromei, just logged in thats why i took so long

[jade lynx]

i thought they did etching part on their own, so was focussed on installer part

[neon raven]

i have screenshot app

[high citrus]

it doesnt etch anything. it just browse-boots an ISO where u tell it to look

[high citrus]

run up the installer

[neon raven]

right

loading

[high citrus]

proceed with the first few pages of it til u get to the 'something else' part

[neon raven]

right

[jade lynx]

they were already in mint live session, when i took the control

[neon raven]

install multimedia codecs?

im here

[high citrus]

[neon raven]

[high citrus]

[high citrus]

is it a computer?

[neon raven]

laptop

[high citrus]

[neon raven]

yep

[high citrus]

windows?

[neon raven]

but its slow

and laggy

[neon raven]

10

like it runs on hdd and it has a weak cpu

[high citrus]

can it connect to router?

[jade lynx]

let's install antix in it

[neon raven]

connected to the ethernet

[high citrus]

good

use iVentoy

[neon raven]

i can't open it rn need to ask my dad

[high citrus]

then u will boot this pc here, with ethernet

Well, for now cancel the installer

[neon raven]

well try tomorrow

[high citrus]

i want u to go back to Windows on this pc, to read some stuff and watch some things

[jade lynx]

How's the josh

[neon raven]

roger that

[high citrus]

whic i will link u

[neon raven]

still reading them files

[high citrus]

btw, the old slow pc.. must have firewall OFF in win 10

[jade lynx]

😭kekw
you were supposed to say "High Sir"

[high citrus]

for iventoy to work

[neon raven]

shoot

[neon raven]

right

Well do such commands tomorrow General

ill open the computer tomorrow

[high citrus]

i mean u can watch this now:

Set up Linux or any OS on a target pc using iVentoy from other pc on same LAN: #1365287731357286492 message
Better AI-voice video on iVentoy use, no VM. https://youtu.be/oI948edU_Vk?t=178 (2:58) by @NETVN82

[neon raven]

i can't close the installer

[high citrus]

press ctrl-alt-t

in terminal, type xkill

and then click installer window

[neon raven]

wow

[high citrus]

then reboot to Windows

[neon raven]

that was awesome

it's like a missile strike

striking an app

[high citrus]

see all info here.

[neon raven]

switching to windows

[high citrus]

basically, u will put mint xfce ISO file on old slow pc, in the designated directory for iventoy, as is shown in official iventoy site.

it will essentially be a far-away usb drive (over LAN)

Then this fast computer, u boot from LAN PXE in BIOS

[neon raven]

it's my dads laptop btw

i dunno if he would let me do it

[jade lynx]

the old one?

[neon raven]

cuz he uses the laptop for his youtube

[neon raven]

yup

[jade lynx]

oki

[neon raven]

he has alot of data inside it

[high citrus]

the iso and iventoy program can later easily be removed btw

[neon raven]

right

[high citrus]

but it wont hurt to leave it

incase u need to reinstall MINT on this pc

[jade lynx]

i should make a installer which will be able to run on the same drive on which we will be installing OS

[neon raven]

btw

is buying a new ssd easier to install linux?

[high citrus]

no

it makes a LAN server

[neon raven]

like im replacing my ssd since it's 256gb

[jade lynx]

like it will install few bites then will remove the few bites from other OS

[high citrus]

that acts like a usb

[neon raven]

i want to increase it to 500

that looks easier right?

[jade lynx]

like if we have a isolated system, no connection

[high citrus]

linux is always easy... with ventoy on GOOD usb, or iventoy over LAN

[neon raven]

right

ill be offline guys

gotta sleep, it's already 2 am

[high citrus]

alright.

[neon raven]

goodnight guys

[high citrus]

see ya. tomorrow read the links above thoroughly

[neon raven]

gotya

[neon raven]

negative......he doesnt want me to use his laptop

guess well have to proceed with USB

[jade lynx]

what about another USB Drive in your basement?

or a Card Reader?

[neon raven]

they all suck

i dont have other usb tho

[jade lynx]

uhmmm

[jade lynx]

is yout phone rooted?

[neon raven]

i dont have a phone

i just borrowed the phone yesterday

[jade lynx]

T~T

oo

[neon raven]

im just gonna choose this one instead of the blue one to be "extra sure"

btw this is the same seller as the blue one

[high citrus]

Watch this vid. it had some points we didn't try before, but your old USB still may not cooperate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5cEnrnzRls

[neon raven]

negative, the USB is not cooperating
