Re: How to install latest browser after downloading it?

I downloaded an .iso file from one of the mirrors in Australia.
As i said, i put it on a memory stick, however there are other things on the stick too, would that make a difference?

Re: How to install latest browser after downloading it?

No, i don't know anyone else that uses Linux.

I've downloaded Mint 21 to a memory stick. I've read up on how to install a new version on my pc and taken lots of notes. However when i restart my pc and it gets to the Boot Menu i can't see any mention on the stick! Why isn't it showing up?
Thanks.
