 The other option is to boot from a USB drive. USB drives are faster than DVDs and can be set to save updates and work and function as a working system; but you won't experience the full speed and capacity of KXStudio until you install it to a hard drive.
-If using USB, you will need a FAT32 formatted USB drive with at least 2 GB free space. You can then use the freely available [[http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/|unetbootin]] under Windows, OSX or Linux to transfer the iso file and make it boot from your USB drive. Using Unetbootin is as simple as selecting the 'Diskimage' option, browsing to and selecting your downloaded KXStudio iso file, selecting the correct USB drive from the 'Drive' drop-down menu and then clicking OK. After a few minutes wait you will be told when your USB drive is safe to be removed and ready to be booted.

 =====Booting KXStudio=====
-Reboot your machine with the KXStudio DVD in the drive or with the unetbootin modified USB drive attached. In rare cases, your computer will automatically boot KXStudio. Typically, however, you will need to find out how to enter the boot menu on your machine or enter the BIOS or UEFI menu to change the boot order so that the DVD and/or USB drive takes higher boot priority than the hard drive. Commonly, pressing F12 right at start up will bring up the boot options; pressing F2 will bring up the full BIOS menu. In other cases, DELETE or ESCAPE are used. If none of these work, refer to the manual for your computer or search online for machine-specific instructions.

-If you boot the DVD, you will first be prompted to choose the language to use. When this occurs, you can either do nothing and wait 30 seconds before the default of English is chosen and booting continues or you can use the arrow keys and ENTER to choose an alternate language. Booting off the USB via unetbootin does not bring up the language selection menu directly; instead you may change language settings under 'System Settings'.
