How to use Bay Live Linux Utility System

Insert the USB flash drive into your computer and boot from it.  To get your machine to boot off the USB device it may be necessary to press a hotkey during startup such as F12 or <Enter> to select a temporary boot device.  If this doesn't work, check your BIOS settings.

Once the USB device has been selected and Bay Live boots simply select the default boot option "Live System" by pressing <Enter>.  Bay Live will boot to the KDE desktop.  

You can configure networking but selecting the Network Manager icon which is on the right side of the panel. 

The display resolution can be changed by right-clicking on the desktop and choosing Configure Display Settings.

The keyboard layout can be changed by going into System Settings -> Input Devices -> Keyboard -> Layouts tab.

When Bay Live starts it will show VSCodium with two informational markdown documents displayed in preview mode.  These documents are to aid with rescue and recovery.  Feel free to close the VSCodium window if you do not need these documents.

Note that Firefox is configured to use NoScript Security Suite which by default blocks scripts on all sites.  For a live system this is good because it can dramatically decrease resource consumption of web pages.  However you may need to allow JavaScript on web pages in order for them to view correctly.  To do this clock on the NoScript icon which is to the right of the address bar and select either "temporarily trusted" or "trusted" for any site(s) you want to view.

To become superuser in a terminal simply type 'sudo -i'   Sudo will not prompt for a password.
