Aside from the file I am using, which is not the linux mint images as I won't just download 2 GB to provide an example, the output should look like the following but with the right file and values
- Move to the Downloads folder with

yes sir i read that . but this method was easy for mebutIf you had bothered to read the link I Googled for you that on the Linux Mint forum they had explained it step by step there as well.
It can't be easier because it's the same as what @Lord Boltar wrote out and the same as @gvisoc wrote out, except for the latter one used powershell. If you are going to want to learn how something works you are going to have to learn how to read and how to use Google. Not everyone is going rewrite what has already been explained many times elsewhere on the web. You don't learn anything by someone rewriting it out for you, learning is searching for something whether a howto, tutorial or documentation, then trying to figure out what they mean and then trying to apply or use it. Then whether you succeed, halfway-succeed or fail to apply it you lean from the experience and then continue from there again and repeat. If you have tried to apply something and can't get any further, then you can post on a forum and share what you have tried so far and what problems you ran into. Learning is not being lazy.yes sir i read that . but this method was easy for me
It might be helpful to other beginners...you never know.I think he is past that now, Bob, see
