Good Morning I want to install ilinux I have this external drive of 300gb, I downloaded the zip file of 23gb unzipped the size is 57gb do I use balena etcher to copy the unzipped to the external hard drive ? I was able to download the unofficial torrent becuase the official torrent the speed of torrent was very very slow is that ok ?
Good evening!
Yes.
As you can see in Install Instructions https://ilinuxos.com/install-by-restoring-the-ilinux-disk-image-from-a-computer.html you can use either HDD Raw Copy Tool or Balena Etcher.
As for the Unofficial Torrents https://ilinuxos.com/download-ilinux-os-2-galaxia.html :

As for the Official Torrent Download Speed, there are many factors that can affect it.
At present we have 5 Torrent Servers sharing iLinux OS Torrents.
On the Official Torrent Download Speed:
Our Torrent Servers operate at full bandwidth during 00:00-07:00 GMT +3.
During 07:00-00:00 they operate at decreased bandwidth.
I did download the galaxia version unofficial version and used balena etcher but it does not work again your official version doesnt not work I live in italy. I would like to test out ilinux I saw your video on you tube but till now no luck any suggestions I have a linux distro installed already.
Please elaborate.
What do you mean by "it does not work"?
Have you disabled "Secure Boot" and "UEFI Boot" via your computer's BIOS as instructed?

I does not show up when I insert the usb key I see if "Secure Boot" and "UEFI Boot are disabled.
