Installation progress will be displayed as a series of blocks on screen. Green colour will fill most but possibly not all blocks. It will take about five to ten minutes. Once finished, the laptop will reboot automatically. You may remove the USB or SD drive during or after the reboot.
The USB or SD drive can be used on other laptops.
If installation progress is not displayed, you may be running an old firmware version which does not recognise the .zip file. Upgrade the firmware first (see Firmware).
If you see a message Boot failed then either:
- the USB or SD drive has not been properly prepared, or;
- the firmware is out of date and should be updated (see Firmware).
