🖥️ Boot Help

💿 Burn the ISO to CD or DVD

You downloaded an .iso file. Now you need to burn it properly:

• Windows: Right-click the ISO and choose "Burn disc image".
• macOS: Use Disk Utility → File → Open Disk Image → Burn.
• Linux: Use Brasero, K3b, or wodim:

wodim dev=/dev/cdrom -v -data amarok-live.iso

💾 Write the ISO to USB

• Windows: Use Rufus (choose DD mode).
• macOS/Linux: Use the dd command:

sudo dd if=amarok-live.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress

⚠️ Replace /dev/sdX with your USB device (e.g. /dev/sdb)

🚀 Boot the LiveCD

Once written to CD or USB:

• Insert the disc or USB into your computer.
• Reboot your PC.
• Immediately press the boot menu key:

• ESC / F2 / F9 / F12 / DEL (varies by computer)

Select your CD/DVD drive or USB stick.

You’ll see the amaroK Live boot menu — select “Start LiveCD”.

🛠️ Troubleshooting

• If booting fails, try burning at a lower speed (e.g. 4x).
• Make sure Secure Boot is disabled in your BIOS.
• Try a different USB port or brand if USB doesn’t boot.
