Hey SEA:

Thanks for getting back. I understand the command (I think). So, I must once again D/l iso, then run command and in place of path/to/file.iso, I insert the downloaded .iso from my "files" (the file I D/l it to (?). So, correct me if this is the wrong command:

sudo dd if=(insert D/l iso here) of=/dev/sdb1. Now, I sorta did this with the last install only I used the "USB image Writer" provided in LM17 to put the .iso on pendrive. Did I do something wrong?

Some folks are getting upset with me(and I too, in return) stating I must have a corrupt .iso (could be) and should be checking with md5sum. I got the .iso from the LinuxMint website--www.linuxmint.com/download.php-Download-linuxmint I don't know, but I would guess this to be a safe site from which to D/l the .iso. So, is it possible that I must D/l a certain .iso just for HP? Well, as you see, one question just morphs into many. And thus, I have been getting frustrated. I'm not upset with you, I'm upset because I believe Linux/Ubuntu should be and is a "simple" O.S. and therefore believe problems should have simple "fixes"...this is not the case (or is it?)! Thanks so much for you help!!
Rick

mkcd

mkcd(1M)						  System Administration Commands						  mkcd(1M)

NAME

       mkcd - create bootable Solaris ISO image

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/bin/mkcd -v [-l label] media-root iso

DESCRIPTION

       The  mkcd  utility takes media-root (the root of an on-disk Solaris install media) as input and creates a bootable Solaris ISO image in the
       file iso, using mkisofs(8). The file can then be burned onto a CD/DVD with utilities such as cdrw(1) or	cdrecord(1).  (Neither	mkisofs(8)
       nor cdrecord(1) are SunOS man pages.)

       Caution -

	 The directory tree media-root must contain the file boot/grub/stage2_eltorito, which will be written to the media boot sectors. This file
	 will be modified with some boot information, thus it must be writable. If necessary, first save a copy prior to running this utility.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -l label

	   Sets label as the label/volume name of the ISO image.

       -v

	   Verbose. Multiple -v options increase verbosity.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       media-root

	   Top-level directory of an on-disk Solaris install media.

       iso

	   Name of the output file which will contain the resulting ISO image.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1 Creating an ISO Image and Burning a CD/DVD

       The following commands create an ISO image from the content of s10u1 and burn the image to a CD/DVD.

	 # /usr/bin/mkcd s10u1 s10u1.iso
	 # /usr/bin/cdrw -i s10u1.iso
