I copied the image file to my ssd and the system boots and runs fine. But how do I convert it from livecd mode to perm ant mode? When I login as installer it just tries to initialise the ssd which obviously isn't going to happen. I must be missing something obvious. TIA. Cheers Tim

Hi,

I start the image from different device than "the ssd" (USB Stick for example). Login as installer and choose the ssd as destination.

Best regards

Yes, it seems to me that is the only way to install. Unfortunately I can't find a usb that is big enough, so I'll just have to wait for the ones I've just ordered.
