Thanks Sleeper12.
Is there a disc available for downloading 19.2 mint xfce?

I believe the disc wipes the hard drive clean as part of the loading function.

Thank you sleeper12.

It sounds like I have to install 19.x before 20.x - is that right?

Is a disc available?

It looks like I have to update, but not sure how to do it.

Do I have to update to 19.x first, or go with 20.x?

What commands do I use to implement the update.

I've had no luck sofar. The picture I have is similar to what you sent, but the mirror url is http, not https.

Could my VPN be causing problems?

I was able to download just one(1) update but couldn't download all repository indexes because they either no longer existed or were moved, etc.- I'm not sure what this means. What action would you guys suggest I take to get needed updates? A...

Problem solved. The USB stick was not seating correctly in it's socket. Once I re-inserted the stick the pointer became operational - computer seems to be ok now.

My next challenge will be to choose and install a VPN.
Thanks to all.

I still do not understand how to use the new Software Manager so I will continue to resolve that issue.

Is there any documentation about the new mint xfce Software Manager that I could review?
