  • Thank you for comments they were helpful in helping me think through what I needed to do. I did figure out how to create bootable USB drive. I also bought an ebook on learning linux OS from manning.com reading this and doing the activities each day. I've got this! Thanks again and Happy New Year!! – elis007 Dec 31 '21 at 18:19
