It appears others have been able to install Debian on the Liva:<br>

However, I am struggling. I have created a bootable USB stick and<br>
installed the Debian ISO mentioned here:<br>

I installed debian on mine. I used the netinstall iso for the testing distribution from back in December if I remember right. If I remeber correctly, you must use the amd64 version because of the uefi bios. I think that has caught several people. I don't remember if current debian stable handles uefi or not.<br>

I assume you mean directly from a CD-ROM? So, I probably need to borrow a CD-ROM drive to get it installed...<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
