0. You can copy and paste command lines from here. (Command lines are often easier when helping compared to describing how to use graphical application (GUI) programs.)
1. Rufus is a good tool to make USB boot drives in Windows.
2. For your Acer Aspire One (netBook), 1 GB RAM, I would suggest that you select another version of Lubuntu, 16.04.1 LTS, which has the longest support time until end of life (of the versions that are supported now). It is debugged and polished, when after installation you have made it up to date via a graphical user interface or the following command lines.
You can find this version via the link: How to select the version and flavour of Ubuntu
The program md5sum calculates and displays the md5 checksum (to compare with the listed value via the website link in my first post (post #2).
Code:
$ md5sum lubuntu-16.04.1-desktop-i386.iso
72a400913ba0ed59b88c42e5aab629e9 lubuntu-16.04.1-desktop-i386.iso
I think Rufus can calculate and show the md5sum in Windows.
3. I suggest that you make a standard installation and avoid LVM and avoid all encryption, at least while you take the first steps with linux. Install a basic system and learn how to use it. Later on you can install more advanced systems.
4. If possible, you should connect the netbook via wired internet (ethernet cable) during the installation and in the beginning after the installation. Via wired internet you can update and upgrade to make it up to date and after that install additional software, for example a suitable driver for the wifi.
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
You may prefer to use the Synaptic Package Manager, which is a graphical front end.
