Hard Drive Space required to Install Linux Mint 13 Mate ?
Posted: Thu Sep 20, 2012 6:12 am
How big a Hard drive is required to install Linux Mint 13 Mate on a computer?
I have a computer whose hard drive holds 60 GB.
I have a new DVD Instillation disc for Linux Mint 13 Mate bought from OSDisc.
Is the 60 GB hard drive large enough to hold the Installation of Linux Mint 13 Mate?
My problem:
I used the LM 13 Mate Installation DVD in the 60 GB machine.
On the Desktop screen appeared a button which reads "Install Linux Mint Mate"
I clicked on it.
Instillation appeared to procede as expected.
I used the "installed" LM Mate program for a couple hours.
When I turned the machine off, the OSDisc Installation disc came out of its drive.
I turned the machine off.
Next time I booterd it without the OS Disc in the DVD disc drive, the Machine booted
Linux Mint 9 which I had used for several years.
Thus, it appears that I was using the OSDisc LM 13 Mate as a LIVE DISC----which is to say,clicking on "Install Linux Mint Mate" did not
install the Op. System at all.
How do I force the Installation Disc to actually INSTALL Linux Mint 13 Mate on the hard drive?
Many thanks for advice
