    @ 70 Tango Charlie Can we please pick up the pieces. I have tried and tried again , but can not get the iso with etcher on the harddrive. And I don't know why?

    I have run right through the section 2. used etcher to pull in linuxmint 19.3 onto the stick, went to boot manager Diskette.. then F10 Then F 9 Boot with EFI screen went black within two minute the computer started up again. It didn't ask me which drive it goes into or such. Now what.??

    @wizardfromoz Thanks for your encouragement. As far as I can see. we haven't resolved the discrepancy from post 267 in the OS Boot Manager /Diskette.... I have not been able to achieve the linux setup. the only refence I get is to Window Boot Manager or to Boot from EFI File. Thats why I...

    Nothing wrong with my isp, its one of the best around,[part of BT] and I get all my other standard contacts, bank, email providers etc. Have I overlooked some setting or change inadvertently? I must have a look. really weird.

    I'm writing this on my old donkey. I have wondered why it is so difficult to get on the linux site on this old machine. Could it be they have a filter system ? I can't get distrowatch on here either. Something is fishy here.

    Do you know what I have just found>>> every request for a search goes via bing.com. So they have added a filter in whereby they can throw out what theyn don't like or what they[MS] hate therefore distrowatch must be on hteir list.

    That looks wonderful. Does it mean that I have to download that Linux Mint from that site again. I did download a Cinnemon version earlier. I did do all the steps you describe but the last one because I could not get the Linux boot command.

    @70 Tango Charlie , My thumb's are red from twiddleing. I'm so close to getting Linux on and yet so far. After 5 weeks of trying to get along with this forum, I must say, the patience is getting thinner. Had I known what an uphill undertaking it is to get Linux as an OS, I might have thought...

I made one mistake, not changing the timing on the top line POST Hotkey Delay to 20 but everything else was correct.

    I did go over it again. Did I miss somewhere specific to linux as it's not referring to that at all.
