   Ok! so thanks AGAIN to the magnificently patient @wendigo ......

   I AM IN!

   I've hacked the mainframe, which turned out to be a heck of a lot more involved than anticipated for a number of reasons (disabling various Windows functions, renaming download Disk file names for no clear reason etc).

   But I am now Minty fresh with a hint of Cinnamon.

   Goodbye Windows, you bunch of bastards. x

     Lol this is a nice idea (which I sort of did last night here), but it's already apparent that it's a process prone to a lot of changes depending on what you're working with and there was an enormous amount of trial and error and just trying shit out until it worked. I can see how it could be a super easy install, but I hit a number of issues that noone else seemed to have experienced.... One of the programs (I forget - the green one) didn't work, then despite my drive working, it just stopped working. Then I had to adjust a few settings in BIOS, which I got from advice and 3 different forums, then eventually I just had to change a file name for no good reason (which I had to change back to install it on a different machine). I think it's a work it out/talk it through sort of process.

     @TheBreadmonkey if you fancy it, put together a newbie step by step guide to help others and shove it on the Web somewhere?
