laptop / W8 / Lite install situation

[Valtam]

saved linux lite to USB and plugged into laptop hoping to get free install but won't boot and screen still black.

any suggestions?

My first suggestion would be if you need assistance from the community it would be a bad idea to start off questioning their ethics. I'm not sure who would come to your aid willingly, but we'll see.

chancing my arm here, i have to say i'm mighty displeased with the fact linux spammed my machine with a load of difficult to get rid of pop ups, toolbar hijackers and the like. what is this? i thought you people were ethical. very bad PR.

your download instructions are not clear and so far i wd rate microsoft over linux in the front of house stakes. let's hope the OS is better or same as W8 about which i have no complaints apart from price and corporate roots.

First question, how did you put Linux Lite onto your USB?
