I have discovered that some computers won't boot from USB sticks. And yes, I
am running i386, so 32 bit it is. However, I don't have UEFI, because I built
this thing out of parts.
A friend of mine turned a laptop into a brick by trying to install a Linux
system on a machine that had UEFI enabled. This sounds like the opposite
problem: the iso image is made for UEFI machines, but I don't want that (at
least, not yet). Will that be a problem?
UEFI is broken by design. Anyway, you can safely boot from the ISO, as it just has the
additional partition for (U)EFI to boot. The ISO wil lstill boot on sane computers.
