As a note to everybody else, it would be a good thing if we all posted install instructions. It will be a resource for all the newbies out there.
Here are the instructions I used for a Linux Mint Installfest I ran a few years ago. Specifics may have changed, but this might still be useful. https://sobac.com/LUGs/bitsnbytes/Workshop2/ Feel free to copy / repost as desired. - --Bob. On 2017-07-15 11:41 AM, Howard Gibson via talk wrote:

Hi. Anyone want to do their bit for the environment by helping me get set up? I am not wanting to be an OS computer whiz. I have a full plate already doing environmental protection'defense work-activism, and being a grandmother etc..
...I am currently shopping for a new not-fancy computer and need some recommendations on which would be best for installing Linux-Ubuntu in a dual boot, and I also need an affordable technician to help me do that when I get the computer.
Usually I am in eastern NB but am in the GTA for the summer. I have technical support down there, but not up here. My kids are buying me a new computer and I need some guidance. I use the Linux - Ubuntu side mostly for my work because it deals with a lot of security issues.
Thanks for considering this request. Ann Pohl
Ann,
I post my Linux installation instructions on my website. Installing Linux is not difficult. I run mostly Fedora, but I have installed Ubuntu and Slackware, and my instructions are up there. Being able to install your own OS is good. It keeps your computer out of the hands of repair technicians.
As a note to everybody else, it would be a good thing if we all posted install instructions. It will be a resource for all the newbies out there.
