   Bobbie, I am downloading pcLinuxOS64-mate-2016.04, with a torrent from   
   LinuxTracker.org.  All torrents there are cross-referenced to Distrowatch.   
      
   Since I am using the MATE desktop, I can't comment on KDE.   
      
   My experience with flash drives is the opposite of yours.  My BIOS will   
   often not recognize a UEFI DVD.  It will recognize a flash drive made   
   with Mageia's Isodumper every time.  Apparently some flash writing   
   programs omit the UEFI directory, or part of it.  Isodumper will work   
   for any distro, BIOS or EFI. A straight dd command should work, however.   
   There is a link to the wiki page at the top of Mageia's Downloads page.   
   P.S. If a flash drive made with isodumper has problems, the fault must   
   lie with the distro.   
      
   Doug.
