Re: [LUG] New Linux user in Fowey Cornwall

Hi All

I had an e-mail from a potential new Linux / Free software user in
Cornwall, she hasn't started with it yet, but I did suggest starting off
with LinuxMint as it seems to 'just work'.  Plus for new users it is
pretty easy to use, has good support (forum,irc etc) as well as a strong
user base.

I just wondered if anyone in that area would be able to provide some
install help please.  I know the install guide is at

https://linuxmint-installation-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

But I don't know much about this EFI/UEFI thing. So if that needs
disabling or whatever you do. I can't help with that.

Once it is installed myself and others can try and provide some support
remotely.

If anyone can respond who is local to Fowey, I can put you in touch.   

Thanks

Paul

If this is a laptop, and if they can make it to Plymouth for the meet this Saturday, and if they bring it along then I'm sure I/we can take a look at it for her.

Grant. :)
