Can i use DISK?

@TutorialBoy97 According to the website it says you can.

Ubuntu as a an app that does that for you since I think Ibex all you need is the ISO and a USB flash drive. I been using it as a last resort if something goes wrong it cheaper than using a live CD because you can format the stick and or upgrade the iso or even change Distro.

I got to the part at the end of the video, I have mint on a USB drive, after the Mint logo loads, a command prompt appears, how do I go to the desktop/what command? I've tried typing 'help' to see the different commands but I have no idea what to do.

Thanks

It should automaticly boot into the GUI, but if your still have that error, try the command startx
